What does this cost and do they have decent AA availability if booked far in advance?
Any other good options for flying to JNB?
It will cost you two awards: LAX-HKG and HKG-JNB because you are going TPAC.

highly recommended for a CX USA-HKG-JNB redemption unless you want to pay a LOT of AA miles. They do not have a routing restriction for this CX award and will include a stopover at HKG. Note that CX does not fly equipment with F on HKG-JNB, so for that segment you will be seated in J on an F award.
