3. Tailor awards (AA Anytime equivalent) - 195k AM.
AA, OTOH, will cost you 145k AA miles for J, if CX has availability. However, AA is not partner with EI but CX is, so if HKG - DUB is not available on CX but available on EI, CX could still issue the award ticket.
Please refer to AM rules:

This is incorrect - SFO-HKG-DUB using CX miles with or without stopover at HKG will cost 85k AM - there is no restriction on where the stopover is as long as the origin and destination are in different countries. EI also does not operate HKG-DUB
In fact i just redeemed FRA-HKG-LHR for 85k AM, good value
