If you can give up a segment, consider starting the trip in WLG. LONE5 in New Zealand (4,099 NZD about $2,930) is almost $1,000 less than South America ($3,900). This will require 40,000 more miles for the positioning award tickets so it comes down to what is more valuable to you $1,000 or 40,000 miles
