If you're choosing between paying cash for the tickets or using expiring miles, the latter is a no-brainer.

If you want to get more value out of your miles, consider booking a one-way business class ticket with your miles, and pay cash for a one-way economy ticket. LAX > HKG > HND will be 85,000AM in business (or 75,000AM on the direct LAX > HND flight on American). You could also do premium economy for 60,000AM each way.
3 adults will travel so the total is 267,000 pts and I have about 207K AM points so I need 60,000 pts more ($600). On the other hand, I have enough Chase points for 3 people.
