As for when to do it, the main seasonal issue will be ANC - June-Sept only (on AA metal). The rest will be up to you. As far as I can tell your itinerary is legal.
Your idea of JFK -Hkg never occur to me, I thoght for some reason that I had to do SWP first...............stepping stone thoghts I guess! I will play around with it, don't see why it would not work. I had HKG-DPS-HKG in there to just get the miles/points, been there done that so no lose.
Thanks
