What in the world is "United MR"??

You mean MR with UA selected? for J it dosent have to be your selected airline.

Probably meant regular UA. Not sure what MR is though.

I am sorry to all you, just a typo I meant United Miles (I had to top off 60k UR to United though).
And it is on Air Canada.

Copa or Avianca on UA for 35k. Copa is better than regional F and it can be all day flights. we went Avianca there and Copa back.

Avianca flies direct CUZ-BOG, Copa is only from LIM.

Booked:
LAX-ZRH-TLV LX J x2
TLV-HKG-DPS CX J x2

On hold:
DPS-ICN KE J x2
ICN-LAX KE F x2
So since November I haven't booked the KE flights that were held. Instead I have booked:

DPS-HKG CX Y x2 (12.5k BA/person + 1.25k for the baby)
HKG-ICN-LAX F x2 (80k KE/person + 8k for the baby)

However.....

I may want to switch the end of trip up and skip the weekend in HKG. I now have 2 options:

Option 1
Keep CX Y tickets and change KE F flight leaving HKG 3:45 after the CX flight arrives. The KE fight is a 748i (Kosmo Suite 2.0) but it's only a 3:40 redeye leaving at 12:45am.
Total cost: $0

Option 2
Cancel the CX  Y tickets and switch the KE flight to DPS-ICN-LAX. DPS-ICN will be angle flat J seats for an approximately 7 hour redeye.
Total Cost: $110 to cancel BA tickets ($55/person)+30k more UR>KE.

What's everyone's opinions and why?

I know you've already been to Hong Kong.  Did you have a reason you wanted to stopover again?  For Shabbat?
