I called the New Zealand booking office and they saw the availability instantly. The only availability online that I found that was accessed in a different way from the wiki was the return flight from AUH-JFK. It didn't appear in a round trip search, but a one-way search on the same day showed two guest seats available.

Taxes and fees were $75/person.

We decided to go back to Bora Bora as opposed to returning to the Maldives or going to Seychelles (in part because of the 2 award requirement).
