NRT / KIX would also be an option if this was the case, although if you are with BA / QF then NRT doesn't cross the magical 2000mile mark. Finally CTS (~2100 miles) would be an option as there are a couple of flights a week using the 346 / 744.

It limits your choice admittedly - you're looking at HKG - DPS - HKG - <Japan> - HKG if you stick with first, but it stops you flying at crappy hours into crappy airports. If, however, you're not interested in visiting Bali / Japan then this info is of course useless.
