UA to Oz... why cheaper with 1 NZ leg (but not 2)?
I've noticed this quite often-

When I am looking for flights LAX-MEL or LAX-SYD, it seems to always be cheaper to fly NZ on the outbound OR inbound, but not both.

Flying NZ metal on both legs is about $300 more.

Flying UA metal on both legs is about $300 more.

Having one or the other (and doesn't matter which way) is always cheaper?What's the reason for this strange occurrance?
