I've booked this

Segment 2 PSP-SFO-AKL-CHC

This was a very different price (at booking time), for the same flights on the same day.
Segment 1 CHC-LAX
Segment 2 PSP-SFO
Segment 3 SFO-AKL-CHC

Also if I attempt to make the change now, its also a very different price (again, even for the same flights on the same days)

My fare rules say
