At least you were able to finally burn it.
Etihad has become HK airlines' partner (perfect timing, I know), so it can be interesting.
HKD 537 in fee sounds really high for such a short hop: in comparison CX charges HKD 1,100-1,200 in fees and taxes for awards HKG and nearby cities-yvr. Reportedly, they'll double that for both awards and cash tickets as of 3/18.
