Plan to a mid point destination but fill the tanks full of fuel (e.g. Nadi), depending on the burn either splash and dash or replan the destination as Auckland. Also, until you've flow it a bit and got real world data, be conservative and block out seats.
This should never happen.
It's called redispatch. It quite common in the Northern Hemisphere so not really amateur hour.
