I had a chat with customer service on the website who advised me to give Finnair Plus customer service a call instead, but there is no Bangkok number for it, so I sent them email and see how it goes...
How about looking at using the award points on other OneWorld carriers? You might be able to get a HKG-MXP flight with CX using your AY award points, possibly even in F instead of J. That's not something you can book online, you have to ask CS to do it. But if you can actually manage HKG-MXP return in F using award miles, I'd go for that one, and just arrange yourself from BKK to HKG and back. That is, if there is anything remaining after all those error fare bookings CX had. Maybe you could also try QR, QF, MH...
