This route runs from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Auckland (AKL). Qantas Airways carries all of the nonstop award space in the data. The Boeing 787-9 shows up on those nonstop award segments. Nonstops make up only about 2% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
Booking New York–Auckland with points starts with the cabin, then the program. The cheapest economy seat connects once; skipping the connection means an economy nonstop on Qantas Airways at a higher price. Taxes and fees on the economy floor run about $38, below the route's typical economy taxes. Premium economy runs about 1.6 times the economy price and business about 2.3 times. Before moving bank points anywhere, confirm the seat is bookable, since transfers are one-way.
American AAdvantage wins economy at 35,000 points and business class at 80,000. Alaska Atmos Rewards takes premium economy at 55,000 points on a Qantas Airways nonstop. Its 200,000-point first-class fare connects; treat it as mixed-cabin until each segment's cabin checks out. Of the other seven, Etihad Guest, United MileagePlus, and Air Canada Aeroplan are worth a look too. Business class also prices as a partner award, with one airline's miles buying another airline's seat.
