You lock in both sectors now.
There is a possibility of reissuing HKGSYD in PE or J if it should become available for US$50/ticket

i absolutely asked this, and this was my backup plan if I wouldn’t get companion award. Issue would be baggage allowance bw J and Y. They said I would need to book them separately and they can help me link them.
but, good news!!! The exact flights became available today and I was able to successfully book them right away, so my problem is solved now. I was working on the logistics of a companion award and just happened to check at a very random time.
thank you for all your inputs, this interaction has been very informative.
