I would be fine with an OZ to NZ leg in economy if needed just not the long sectors.Thanks in advance!
Suggest taking a look at CX award availability HKG-AKL, and separately work on the HKG leg. More options around WTP and UUA on the cash booking to HKG, and cash needed for award seats from HKG is pretty low
