Air New Zealand / Air Tahiti Nui - PPT - AKL

When using ExpertFlyer, I see X seats available on Air Tahiti Nui for a PPT - AKL route on Air New Zealand metal (codeshare?), however when I check Air New Zealand I don't see any seats available this same route.

Noob q - how does one book Air New Zealand flights like this? Is it possible to book them?

You can't use UA miles on Air Tahiti Nui marketed flights (regardless of whether operated by Air NZ or Air Tahiti Nui).

Why can't I see any availability on United for Air NZ flights from PPT-AKL? Looked at numerous dates and getting error that it isn't valid route.

No codeshare for that route so UA isn't able to sell?

United don't codeshare on every NZ flight and don't seem to in this case. If you want to book this route you'll have to do it on the Air NZ website on 086 NZ ticket stock.

X is a redemption award bucket.

Air NZ is not good about releasing award seats on its Pacific routes. You might be able to get something if you book a year out. Otherwise you'll have to pay cash.
