If you want to do this cost effectively, you'll have to fly in PE (J will be too expensive). That means you'll earn EQDs at a rate of 20% of distance traveled. In order to earn 5,400 EQD on a single ticket, you'll have to travel a distance of 27,000 miles.
Trips of that length are rare and getting that done (on a single ticket) from any of your chosen airports is probably not possible. It can be done if you reposition.
The following will earn what you want in a single trip:
BOS-HKG-AKL (rt) on CX in PE for $2,733 | 40,000 EQM | 5,450 EQD
