You would then still have another ~3000 miles to play around with in the 25k zone. You could get an extra trip to the Caribbean (or stops in South America/Africa).

Meaning R/T from AKL-PPT-AKL and then continuing on to JFK from AKL? That could work.... but it doesn't appear to save too many miles, unless you're suggesting a PPT-JFK on the award itin, which we've established is impossible.

This is tough... but that's not a bad idea. There are other spots where a local LCC could help too, like BKK - Siem Reap r/t and then onwards. Too.... many... options....

I think I'll have to really mess with this for awhile (the OW map is rough since it shows codeshares, etc) and then ask for help here with a much more specific itin mapped out.
