Thanks for the suggestion ACYYZ/SD. No worry re space in J/C; at 73 we'll likely never see J/C except passing through to Y. Just checked Aeroplan and we can do NZ from AKL to NAN rt in the fall for 25,000 points each. Can you recommend NANDI? Apparently Suva is not an option with aeroplan!

For that matter, if we give up on Tahiti as has been suggested, it might be worth seeing if we can route our AKL-SYD flight connection to AC34 to go AKL-NAN-SYD rather than backtracking from NAN-AKL, which could mean making whole journey a revenue one rather than partial aeroplan.
