Is there any way to add the IAH-AKL leg to my current ticket to make it a return ticket? I'm on hold with Air NZ.

Now I know to book a return ticket and pay to change the date! Thanks for your guidance.

Hope Air NZ answer the phone

Nothing surprising in that OneWay pricing. Looked at other airlines IAH--XXX-AKL for a one way fare?
Can you cancel your existing ticket, at $xx penalty, and book new a AKL-IAH-AKL return that has a changeable return (for a fee)

Maybe a case where a real living breathing travel agent in a travel shop on a street may offer more options.
Are several airline AKL to USA, Air NZ, AA, UA, HA, FJ, QF[JFK] and more via Australia.
