I actually needed a East Asia-East Russia flight, thanks!
Although, I first read the post as FNJ (Pyongyang), which made me confused for a little bit.
That led me to airkoryo.com.kp, which led to something interesting:
All fares loaded to airkoryo.com.kp are $0, in Y or J, any date, any destination (i.e. PEK, VVO, SHE to/from FNJ). The only charge is the $9-10 USD ticketing fee.
Pretty much useless to everyone, but it's there.

LAX-HKG, AA $1004 AI, Forced 1-nt stay
LAX-DFW-HKG is 18,660 flight miles RT according to http://www.webflyer.com/travel/mileage_calculator/
$.05 cpm (before the standard bonus miles )
This appears on ITA Matrix for Labor Day weekend (no vacation day needed - Saturday morning dp (possibly from ONT) via DFW both ways, return to LAX).
I don't track fares to HKG much, but for this fare and upgradability... Seems a good MR/Status Run *and* use of SWUs/eVIPs.
