The only problem is, there are less two hours between the arrival time and departure time. Has anyone done this trip before?
Assuming I don't have luggage.
am I able to catch the return flight??? Thanks,

I am suspicious of your EQM/EQD calculation. ORD-HKG-MLE-HKG-MLE is 21,540 miles. You appear to be applying a 2x factor for EQM and 20% for EQD, and there is no such EQM entry in the CX table. It looks like you're buying PE (1.5x) or maybe full-fare econ (1.0x)?
