Budget $5k. Ideally in business, but can fly part in P.E. if worth it.

So far I looked at NYC-HKG-HYD, NYC-LHR-HYD and NYC-DOH-HYD.
CX gives the longest route but is way too expensive in B so I'm looking for alternatives.
Look at Finnair NYC-xHEL-Asia, mostly running around $3K in J, then back to HYD from AY's cities (DEL, SIN, BKK, HKG) either with a non-Oneworld carrier or maybe MH via KUL. For example, JFK-xHEL-BKK on AY, around $3100, then $830 or so on a separate MH ticket BKK-xKUL-HYD.

Or just fly JFK-xHEL-DEL on AY for $3100 and buy a business class RT on Jet for $500 or so. Fewer miles flown but well within your budget.
