Good luck finding a cheap fare on the last holiday weekend of the summer.
Question - -why are you limiting to those 4 partners, and are those your only available dates? If you're flexible, you could do JFK-HKG as a Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday same-day turnaround on CX. It would earn you 16k EQM and 3200 EQD for under $1000, flying Y. And for about $1300, you can fly PEY. Here's an example. Look at dates starting the 2nd week of September
