Are you sure you can do JNB via HKG on CX as a single award? Africa is generally considered "via Atlantic" only in most FF programs, otherwise two separate awards. Also CX J and F award space has pretty much vanished between North America and Asia because of the New Years Eve fare glitch ticketing. The sold revenue inventory was shifted to award inventory, wiping out most premium seats well in advance, though possibly opening a few days out once revenue sales have stabilized. PE is showing on many flights now and a bargain at 35K AS miles between North America and Asia vs 30K for regular economy.
