I don't know what dates you're looking but certainly good availability for AKL-CHC at 8k UA miles + NZD9 from Sep - Dec 2019.
Or book paid flexitime - you can change your flight on the day of travel free of charge online and there are a lot of flights form AKL-CHC and reasonable number to NSN.
Book the cheapest flight on the day then after midnight on the day of travel change to the actual flight you want. You'll know if your flight's on time by then.
