If you plan on the using the Global Explorer mileage fare, change your syd-akl-syd-cns-bne-sin flights to syd-akl-bne-cns-bne-sin. You'll save about 250 miles with no change in service.
Not only are LAN AKL-SYD-AKL flights being regularly cancelled, but their SCL-AKL-SCL flights (after they have already cancelled the SYD extension) are running very late. I suspect this will continue while their 787s are grounded and the rest of the fleet tries to fill the gaps.
