This route runs from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Auckland (AKL). The nonstop award space in the data is split across Delta, Air New Zealand, Air Tahiti Nui, and American Airlines. Aircraft logged on those nonstops include the Airbus A350-900, Boeing 787-9, and Boeing 787-8. Nonstops make up only about 3% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
Booking Los Angeles–Auckland with points starts with the cabin, then the program. The economy floor is a Delta nonstop booked through its own program, which means the fewest points and no connection. Expect about $38 in taxes and fees on top, below the route's typical economy taxes. Stepping up costs about 1.7 times the economy points for premium economy and about 2.5 times for business. Delta SkyMiles is a bank-points transfer partner, but transfers are one-way, so confirm the seat before moving anything.
Delta SkyMiles wins economy at 32,000 points on a Delta nonstop. Alaska Atmos Rewards takes premium economy at 55,000 points on an Air Tahiti Nui nonstop. American AAdvantage is cheapest in business class at 80,000 points. Alaska Atmos Rewards' 300,000-point first-class fare connects; treat it as mixed-cabin until each segment's cabin checks out. Of the other nine, Air Canada Aeroplan, Qantas Frequent Flyer, and United MileagePlus are worth a look too.
Los Angeles–Auckland draws nonstop award space from three alliances: Delta (SkyTeam), Air New Zealand (Star Alliance), and American Airlines (oneworld), plus Air Tahiti Nui. Partner programs in all three alliances can each book a nonstop. When nonstop space is gone, the cheaper connecting awards in the data route through Sydney and San Francisco. In premium economy, the floor sits on Air Tahiti Nui but books through Alaska Atmos Rewards, a partner redemption.
