That leaves me the HKT to PEK segment and i was able to find a seperate booking on UA HKT to PEK on 1/1/2014 that gets there 11 pm on 1/1/2014 so that leaves me a day and half in PEK..the flights i saw on 1/3 will get me there later in 1/3 to miss the PEK ->IAH segement which leaves me to leave 10 am 1/1/2014 and spend a day and half to catch my flight from PEK.

my concerns - i have atm 150ish points all together i can probably get to the complete miles in a month to get 160k miles for all tickets which leaves me on edge to see award tickets gone ( should i book the ones i am concern off at this time? IAH to HTK and PEK IAH?

concern 2 - staying in PEK..never been there and my wife is not a US citizen so would need a visa for her to stay for day and half there.

cocnern 3. the PEK IAH segment is goign via JFK and have to switch to LGA within 2 hours is that enough time?

so maybe this is doable but some additional work as i stated above. any help and advise on my concerns about would be appreciative.

THanks !
