CX has a lot of flights leaving from BKK to HKG----get on one of those. If you're flying Thai, which is not oneworld and not part of your AA Miles, book that a day early and stopover in Hong Kong to avoid unnecessary hassles from knowingly booking it that way. No brainer. Even Emirates flies F BKK-HKG one way for like a grand USD I believe (not sure).
Indeed, you can add the CX flight BKK-HKG to the J award at no cost which is what you're trying to do.
