If I go for re-routing using other airlines, will EK put me in the same cabin with the other carrier/s?
Would I have to pay anything extra on top of what I've already paid? (I've noticed that fares using alternative airlines are currently more expensive.)
When I made my booking last year, I also arranged dates & times for the cars. Even though another airline/s would be taking me, would the cars still be included?

Ask them about rerouting on a different carrier. They have been known to do it, but only if there is no other viable option.
F might be a big ask as no airline has as much F availability as EK have. And I think (but maybe I am wrong) that there is no other carrier that offers F to AKL.....
To add to this, if placed with other carriers, the cabin remains the same, but the fare class should booked into the lowest available (e.g., J Flex Plus on EK becomes Business Light on CX) fare bucket on the partner airline.
As for F to AKL, I tihnk SQ 285/286 has F cabin, although I am not sure if it has F in April? I did a random check and couldn't seem to find it.
