Getting Miles

You could also go MAD-LHRx-LAXx-EZE- 4 segments - LAX - 6 segments - HKG - etc.. EZE is Buenos Aries, Argentina. I did that last year with a 23 hour 55 minute transit at LAX on Lan Chile (flight LA600).

Also AA goes from several cities in Europe, so you are not limited to LHR. Similarly AA goes to several US cites from Sao Paulo, Brazil.

From USA to HKG JFK-HKG will get most miles

If you want to credit the AA program worth checking the miles
