Huh? who can't use the bigger allowance trans-tasman? If you're asking about the California family I know, of course they can use the bigger allowance trans-tasman since they're on a single UA ticket, connecting through SYD on to a NZ operated UA code share flight to AKL. The bags will be tagged in LAX, by UA, using UA's rules.
