Advice, suggestions?
At the risk of sounding flip, find a different award. RT BOS-HKG in F is only 135K AA miles. You're paying more than double that. In other words, you could have two two roundtrips for what you're paying for one, and still in F. You may want to rethink this one, especially if you're flexible on destination(s). You haven't posted your whole itinerary, but I have to believe that there's a cheaper way.
