Is Malaysia an option (backtracking from HKG to KUL then USA)? Singapore is hard since they don't release 3 J. Emirates / Ethiad will be out since I'll need 2 awards to connect through middle east. BA will have high YQ fee.
Getting 3 long haul awards on the same flight is very hard with any ffp's. You are being a tad optimistic in hoping for that

What ffps/airlines/routes have you looked at?
Look at the major USA gateways LAX, SFO, SEA and others to the east, ORD etc

With AAdvantage you need direct flights from Asia to USA to avoid 2 awards.

MH do not fly to the USA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...s_destinations
