Air New Zealand nonstop — the fixed "All other partners" Aeroplan cell, 7,060 mi flown — or Air Canada nonstop, or United Airlines via SFO

Air New ZealandAir CanadaUnited Airlines Star Alliance

Re-metalled 2026-08-01. The old row named United while asserting a fixed chart cell, and United sits in the DYNAMIC column, so that cell never applied to its metal. Aeroplan's chart prints two rows per band: a dynamic "Starting at" floor for "Air Canada and/or Select Partners" (United Airlines, Emirates, Flydubai, Etihad Airways, Canadian North, Calm Air, Bearskin and PAL), and one fixed number for "All other partners". Air New Zealand flies Auckland–Vancouver nonstop, 7,060 miles, inside the same 5,001–7,500-mile band the old row read — and it is a plain Star partner, so the fixed cell genuinely applies. Priced on the 5,001–7,500-mile North America–Pacific band at the flown distance this routing actually covers, 7,060 mi. The band does not move, so the price is UNCHANGED at 50,000 economy / 85,000 business / 120,000 First. The United option the old row leaned on is still bookable, but it prices off the dynamic column's "Starting at" floor for the 5,001–7,500-mile band (45,000 economy / 85,000 business / 110,000 First) — a floor that climbs with demand, never a number we can promise.

Qantas via SYD (AKL–SYD–YVR) — Flying Blue partner award (dynamic)

Qantas oneworld

Flying Blue has no award chart, but its partner awards are additive per segment, so this routing bands to 57,000 economy (AKL–SYD 2,159 km → 15,000 + SYD–YVR 12,501 km → 42,000 (published quote) = 57,000 economy). Partner awards pass the operating carrier's surcharges — the published Oman Air datapoints run US$190–390 one-way — and Flying Blue publishes no per-route table, so this row's cash side stays unpublished. Cabin scope: Etihad sells Flying Blue awards in economy and business only — first, including the Apartment, is not bookable with Miles. First IS bookable on a short list of other partners (Oman Air on Muscat–Bangkok alone, China Eastern, Garuda), none of which is a first routing this board prices, so there is no Flying Blue first row here.

Estimate Flying Blue publishes no chart, but prices PARTNER awards PER SEGMENT — One Mile at a Time, 6-Jun-2024 on the Oman Air launch: "you're paying the per segment pricing anyway", and the additive structure reproduces all four published connection datapoints inside 5%. This row rides Qantas (a Flying Blue non-alliance partner redemption — Flying Blue runs ONE partner engine over SkyTeam and non-alliance metal alike, which the 13-Jan-2025 repricing proved by moving Etihad and Delta together), so it is banded segment by segment: AKL–SYD 2,159 km → 15,000 + SYD–YVR 12,501 km → 42,000 (published quote) = 57,000 economy. Bands anchored on the published Flying Blue partner datapoints (one-way business: Muscat–Dubai 6,100, Abu Dhabi–Kuwait 9,500, Muscat–Bangkok 42,900, Abu Dhabi–Bangkok 45,000, Muscat–Munich 45,800, Abu Dhabi–Johannesburg 48,000, Abu Dhabi–Washington 87,000), with economy at half of business — the one published long-haul economy anchor is Toronto–Abu Dhabi 43,500 against an ~87,000 business segment of the same length. The <=1,200 km rung is the one exception — re-fitted cabin by cabin on its own published quotes on 2026-08-02, hence 5,000 / 11,500 rather than half-and-half. Dates and demand move the real number. One segment here did NOT need a band — a community source published Flying Blue's own quote for that exact pair, and a published quote beats a fitted band. It is still a single-date sample of a dynamic engine, not a chart cell, and the one-way sample is read as symmetric.

Air New Zealand own metal from AKL, region award — nonstop

Air New Zealand Star Alliance

Air New Zealand own-metal Auckland→Vancouver. Airpoints Dollars cover the FULL ticket price including taxes and surcharges on Air New Zealand-operated flights, so an Airpoints Dollar redemption is effectively a zero-cash booking. The trade-off is the reverse of a mileage chart: you never get outsized value, but you never get gouged either — the redemption is locked at face value. A valid Air New Zealand routing is assumed.

Flying Blue has no award chart, but its partner awards are additive per segment, so this routing bands to 117,000 business (AKL–SYD 2,159 km → 30,000 + SYD–YVR 12,501 km → 87,000 = 117,000 business).
