Some ideas - try the QF codeshare on this flight QF321, try via SYD (yes longer but availability SYD-SCL differs from AKL-SCL and it is reasonably easy to get AKL-SYD if needed).
Have you tried (on partner award) Air Tahiti Nui?
There's no SYD-SCL though that doesn't involve LA800 is there? Slightly confused.
And TN isn't an option for a OW award. As far as I can tell the only options to south america from AKL on a OW award involve LA800 or USA connections. Am I missing something?
