UA miles can be used for flights on Air New Zealand

All (3) carriers fly LAX-PPT.

No need to transfer miles to NW, though those miles can be used for both Air Tahiti Nui and Air France, since you won't get access to greater availability.

I now note that AA will book only 329 days out - so that's pretty limiting.....
330 days is pretty standard.

Besides, Air Tahiti Nui doesn't even publish schedules farther out than that so it wouldn't matter whose miles you use... schedule not in the CRS, no possibility of booking the flight...

with BA (can I use AA (Domestic - FLL to LAX) stopover & continue w/ Qantas ( LAX/ PPT) net day??? I can book 355 days out using Qantas so I might have a better chance at those LAX/PPT Bus. Class seats - BUT - at what cost in mileage?
Qantas doesn't fly LAX-PPT and Air Tahiti Nui is not (AFAIK) a BA partner, so your BA miles wouldn't be an option.
