If your carrier, code share carrier, or any other carrier that you can JS on(US airlines) doesn't serve where you want to go, guess what? THERE IS NO JUMPSEATING ON OTHER COUNTRIES AIRLINES BY US PILOTS.
Yeah, maybe you heard a story of so and so getting a ride on whatever airline, but whatever.
More than likely, your airline has an agreement with XYZ airlines, ID90 or ZED.
No US airlines serve AKL. Atlas goes there but is no allowed to to take a JS'er. So you either get a ZED or ID90 on Qantas or Air NewZealand, in my case.
Don't worry, if riding on a ZED or ID90 you wont look like such a dork showing up with your backpack.
