Hello helpful AC forum,

I've alluded to this question in another thread, but figured it's probably best to stop hijacking other people's topics. I've also already received some great advice (including checking United, ANA, and a few other sites), but don't seem to be able to get an itinerary to work. Maybe there is simply no availability on my dates, but I was hoping some of the experts here might be able to spot something I have missed.

I'd like to go HKG - YOW in J or F on Dec 21, 22, 23, or (if need be) 24, minimizing the scamcharges to the extent possible. I can either do a roundtrip coming back Dec 30, 31, or Jan 1, or a one-way (and buy a revenue ticket on the return so I start earning miles towards 2014 status).

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
