Yeah, I had thought of that, but I'd also like to use some AC eupgrade credits for the first segment, and you need to have the AC FF number to be able to request an upgrade. I guess it's an option if I want to forego using upgrade credits.

Whether you will get a competent agent from NZ who knows how to do this is a different matter.
Yes, it's ticketed using the operating carrier flight numbers, so the AC segment is AC, and NZ segment is a NZ flight number. For the outbound, I'll actually need to check in first with AC for the AC segment and then I'll need to check in separately with NZ in LAX for the NZ segment, as it's >24 hours between the flights. Thanks for the suggestion on the FQTV field.
