You could try asking them to just upgrade LAX-HKG first and see if that works.
That is correct, upgrade inventory is per segment.

The inventory is the same. If the option that AA.com is showing you has a long connection then that might be the issue. You can add a connecting city in the EF award search and change the time of day. If you need further help email us the specifics because without them we're just guessing.
