Looking for creative routing US-IN
I have a business trip coming up and would like to see if other have any suggestions for routing to maximize EQP with AA.
Budget $5k. Ideally in business, but can fly part in P.E. if worth it.
So far I looked at NYC-HKG-HYD, NYC-LHR-HYD and NYC-DOH-HYD.
CX gives the longest route but is way too expensive in B so I'm looking for alternatives.

Or just fly JFK-xHEL-DEL on AY for $3100 and buy a business class RT on Jet for $500 or so. Fewer miles flown but well within your budget.

On one ticket, NYC-KUL-HYD-KUL-NYC in J should be right around 5k. Earning will be ~30k EQP. Be prepared for the MH 737s between KUL and HYD though. At least NYC-KUL will be on whatever BA aircraft it is + the MH A380.
If separate tickets are OK, I'd go with either a BKK/SIN stopover + MH to HYD (can also do HKG for more EQP, but 737's only on HKG-KUL + more $$$), or the mentioned the DEL route. Just note the AY stopovers can be a bit long.
