The fare is available in Sabre and Amadeus and I was able to price and store the fare in Sabre. I didn't ticket it tho cuz I ticketed TYO origin CRWSTAR3 instead (so not 100% sure if it will go through). Also, try including NZ on your itinerary and you may save some fees

If you are US/CA-based, I can help ticket if needed

*edit: if you are planning to ticket on other-than-UA stock (I did NZ) and credit to UA, beware that UA will post some magic numbers of PQP for any UA operated leg. Using https://pqp.economiles.com gives accurate estimates on non-UA legs but can be 20-40% off the estimate for UA legs.
