While you cannot fly AKL-SYD without buying another segment, QF does fly AKL-LAX and you can go AKL-LAX instead of AKL-SYD-LAX (thereby avoiding buying another segment and the travel time to SYD -- since you can't possibly have been intending to stop in SYD, could you?).

Yes they do fly AKL-LAX and that was my fallback, unfortunately LAX is just a stopover and I wanted to go to SFO, thus doing a SYD-LAX-JFK-SFO would save me a flight (though JFK taxes are $80 if I'm not wrong so this is close to an extra segment)
Originally it was:
LAX-SFO-DFW-CUN-MIA-SJO-MIA-CDG
LAX and SFO are just stopover, I'm keeping MIA as it is the hub to connect easily with caribbeans flight which I might use later (a MIA-STT-MIA-CDG for example)
Flights to go to CUN or SJO waste me some segments, so I was trying to find some ideas as from the top of my head there is a JFK-CUN.
