You can certainly do JFK-LAX-HKG on AA/CX or AA/AA on one award in F for 110k, even though it's not the most direct routing.
I figure they priced it as JFK-LAX (12.5k Y award) + LAX-HKG-KUL (110k F award) because that costs less than doing JFK-LAX-HKG (110k F, with invol downgrade on first segment) + HKG-KUL (22.5k J award).
It's possible that it is a published fare issue. I know I've done SIN-HKG-SFO-JFK with SFO-JFK being on AA but that was 4-5 years ago. Oh well, what can you do. Hopefully something opens up from JFK and I can get the ticket repriced.
