The open jaw is between FCO and VCE (which sounds like a cruise itin). Zone shouldn't matter, but having it in the middle might

Can somebody tell me what the numbers are from YYC. I know these were not favorable but maybe changes occurred. Planning to do SYD/AKL with a stop in Europe next trip. I can transit in Asia if need be. Tried for this year before and was frustrated enough to change the trip. But now again trying to accomplish this from YYC. Any further suggestions. Read many comments in the past already but non fitted my needs. Thanks.

Only published mpm over the Atlantic is for yyz
Either do a positioning flight to Toronto or live with only having the Pacific to work with
Outside of published routes through Asia, the only way to stay under mpm is to transit through the US (but in economy since New Zealand doesn't release business class)
That was my experience booking Auckland and Sydney from YVR

And LH site routes the trip via Europe to Australia. Would that count as a published routing?

It depends on whether or not the fare "breaks" -- meaning it's booking you on two round trips (Y__ - FRA/MUC - Y__) and (FRA/MUC - SYD - FRA/MUC). In that case, no, it would not count. You can find this out using ITA Matrix.

So here I go again.
Later this year I found the following availabilities in J.
YYC-NRT AC stop
NRT-AKL NZ stop
AKL-SYD NZ stop Y
SYD-YVR-YYC
My estimate of total fees ~$1000-1100 per pax
First or all is it valid itinerary.
Then, there is no J for AKL to SYD as many before have indicated.
Thirdly, the flight from NRT-AKL shows 3 different Aircraft types operating that segment: 772, 763, 789. Checking 763 layouts indicates not fully flat chairs, others are. My potential flight date shows 772. What is the likelihood of Air NZ changing or substituting what's currently shown for the date I am flying or is there a better indication what is or will be used on the specific date. It is important to us.

You are way over mpm on the outbound to Sydney.However, it's probably a published route from Calgary to Auckland, so you can do it with an open jaw.
I have pretty much the same itinerary from Vancouver, but was not allowed to take Auckland to Sydney (system won't allow you, you can try it out)
I have open jaw between Auckland and Sydney, booked online. Will be booking either something on Avios or just buying cash fare to Sydney one way
When I took that flight last year my midweek flight got downgraded to 763...ymmv

I went to Perth last year via Auckland, published route YVR to Tokyo to Auckland to Perth, found on Aeroplan site. Originally it showed 772 for the Tokyo leg and 763 for the Perth leg, but I ended up flying the opposite, with the overnight Tokyo to Auckland leg on 763 and the Auckland Perth leg on the 772
In laws flying Seattle to Tokyo to Auckland open jaw Sydney to YVR to Seattle, but starting in YVR has the same limitations
