SYD to AKL and SYD to WLG

[Foreigner]

Seeking advice on which airline/FF program would be preferred for award seats in J. Idea is to use points/miles for better seats/services.

Flight timing not critical.

Hoping to book 2 trips...one to Auckland, the other to Wellington.

To AKL would be QFF on the EK 380 without a doubt. I did it earlier this year to try out F in EK & have the shower at 40,000 feet & also try the SYD Flounge. Never been to Wellington so can't help there.

Thanks Dr. How many QFF points for r/t?

If you don't mind positioning to CBR, what about SQ's CBR-WLG flight? It can be booked for 21,250 miles each way in J.

QF from SYD to WLG would be 36,000 QF points each way in J, and VA/NZ just slightly less using Velocity points. AA charges 25,000 miles one-way in J, flying QF. These prices are all the same for SYD-AKL, but you can also use QF points to fly EK or LA.

It was 100K return but as it included ABX to SYD return it was more attractive. When we fly SQ (much cheaper redemption) we have to pay to get to Sydney.
