On my recent AA/CX itinerary, AA couldn't check me in for the ORD-HKG segment. Either way, I recommend staying in the FL until 90 min prior to departure then transfer over to T5. As a F pax, they quickly checked me in and walked me through security; not sure if they provide any expedited service for J pax (I'd suspect not).
IME they won't escort J pax through security, but a dedicated F/J security line is in operation and saves considerable time.
