As it happens, I have some trifling totals of Aeroplan miles that might otherwise go to waste, so this is of great interest to me, especially for booking between regional centres where the airfares are often extortionate. For main trunk jet bookings it's not such an effective use of miles, however.
All award bookings with Air New Zealand in my experience will include checked baggage, so I'd be amazed if that's not the case with these.

Update: booked tickets on Jet star by transferring 6,400 TYP points to QF. Booked a AKL-WLG-CHC itinerary. Used the multi-city tool to have a long transit at CHC. Taxes were USD 12ish per segment. Not bad value.

Did you book seat only or seat & bag?
But I have no idea if a QF award booking has bags

Did they note what the taxes we're, seems pretty odd for an route that should in theory have zero taxes apart from GST. Which is 15% of ticket cost, wouldn't apply as its an reward ticket.
