Seems like i will have some work to do. Can imagine trying to get 5th night free with free nights for two accounts will be even harder.
That sounds like a real stretch. Anyways, aren't the free nights only for weekends? And I believe they no longer allow you to switch them for weekdays...

I would at least get 3 nights if possible. I'm just putting ideas out there. Not relying on it going down that way.

Seems like it might be easier to do 2 free nights, 2 nights on points and a fifth night free

Why go to CNX and have an extra stop. I would much rather do HKG for Shabbos and skip a stop on the outbound.

I would do CNX in a heartbeat. Call me crazy, but some of the most enjoyable shabbosim of my life have been in CNX.

Why crazy?
CNX is awesome. The LM cat 2 seals the deal.

Some might think that referring to them as
most enjoyable shabbosim of my life
is a bit excessive. But I really don't think I'm exaggerating; and no, I do NOT "need to get out more", thank you very much. 8)

You said you wanted a morning flight into MLE.
Thought there were morning flights with a stop from HKG.

I thought he was saying in general the conrad was better regardless of status.
I wouldn't be staying for 5 nights. . Are there any other benefits?

I think you are right.

Not sure there would be better benefits, but Diamond HH is attainable through spending which is nice.

Negative,  but unless you're staying at constance halaveli, it won't be if much help.
