Can you guys shed some light on this for me?
On an xONEx you can only get to PPT from SCL (or IPC). All the other flights are codeshares and thus not eligible. Further, as PPT is in southwest pacific and IPC and SCL are in south america and this is not an allowed exception to the no backtracking between continents rule, you are forced to take a surface segment in xONEx tickets between AKL/SYD and PPT.
