LX/LH/SQ France-AKL GBP c2,100 (and less) rtn Business Class
Example of CDG-AKL return
Valid from many French starting points ( try BOD, NCE, LYS for example).
Looks like SYD/MEL also included.
Can also get the HKG-AKL on CX.
Have a play around with Matrix and Google flights and see if you can find something that works.

Half-Business, Half-First - CDG-AKL R/T
Managed to buy a CDG-SIN-AKL R/T on LX/SQ with the outbounds in P and the inbounds in A & J for 3300€ (2919GBP).
I understand that P is a relatively poor miles earner (100% with LX Miles & More, 0 with LH?) so am looking for another FF program. I am a OW / ST guy so have very little clue as to which Star Alliance FF is optimal for this trip. Any help or hint or direction very much appreciated.

Never used it myself (I’m mostly OW/BAEC), but this looks like quite a handy tool. Hover over the tier 1/2/3 columns and it specifies exactly which tier in which scheme, quite clever I thought.

We just booked 4x passengers from CGD to AKL in February on UA.com (getting 016- tickets and United PQDs.)
It took a few calls and lots of tries to get the right combo that would price and ticket. But at ~$3000/person we are happy with the fights.

I found a good option (*A only carriers) but SWISS and OTA keep coming up thousands more.

Was this for Feb 2019 or Feb 2020, because in 2020, PQD's no longer exist

I've booked it earlier in the year. Was able to price it via Expedia with mulri-city rather than return.
Limited availability back then and I'm assuming now.
