Sarah Horner Welcome to FT
If you are only going NZ to Canada best to avoid USA if you can, even if its costs you some $$., USA does not have “airside” transit., You will need a USA visa/visa waiver and need to go through USA immigration, with all your checked and carry on baggage. Then to the USA Canada flight.
On Air NZ space seats are not the same as premium economy.
