1. 85k is the standard awards for AM from SFO to DUB, via LHR by BA, for example(AA Savver equivalent)
Nice guess, but wrong. 75k for SFO-DUB via LHR on BA.

Not correct for the given itin based on the Asia Miles calculator.

The Asia Miles calculator as greenteamuimui mentions is clear that SFO-HKG (stop) HKG-DUB on CX is 85k miles. Do you think the calculator is wrong?
