As it is, I'm assuming I'm going to be buying a RT ticket separately for the BDL-ATL portion. I'm also looking at probably a nine-day trip... we were thinking 3 days Tokyo, 3 days Kyoto, 3 days Seoul... or something kind of like that. Adding 1 day for HKG was worth it if the routing worked, but we can't really spare any more time, and we only will have about 105-110K AA miles/each.
Assuming there are seats on the necessary flights you could book the following in J/domestic F for 130k. You probably have time before the trip to get the extra miles for each account.
