I'll post in the award success thread once I get a chance to call about taxes/fees, since I know there's too much YQ/YR on there right now.
Plan #1 to close the OJ is 45K AA miles for QF J to SYD from somewhere in NZ and then on from SYD to HKG in F on the A380. In the event that inventory disappears before I get my AA bonus miles, I'll go with Plan #2: Transfer MR points to SQ and redeem for F on AKL-SIN-HKG with SQ, since they don't yet fly Suites aircraft to AKL and there are aircraft with non-Suite F doing SIN-HKG.
