Honestly, it was kinda easy with ExpertFlyer, well worth the $100. I had some flexibility around dates / times, so used the +-3 Day's feature.

Outbound on a Wednesday flight 700 connecting to 193 (yes, allowed for plenty of time in the lounge at LAX) Landing HKG Friday AM.
And i hear First Wing is worth a visit, not sure if i can go in upon arrival or if i have to wait for departure day
Return on following Tuesday flight 126 connecting to flight 1691

Saw there was 2 (actually the LA flight showed C7 for a while) C bucket so put the reservation on hold, called AA and booked, clearing immediately for all but flight 700.
