Roughly 3,850 miles separate New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Copenhagen Airport (CPH), so a nonstop spends about 8h15 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Scandinavian Airlines and Delta both carry nonstop award space in the data. The Airbus A330-300 appears on some of those nonstop award segments. Less than 1% of the award options in the data are nonstop, so most results connect.
On a long-haul trip like New York–Copenhagen, pick the cabin before the program. The economy floor connects once; an economy nonstop on Delta costs more. Watch the cash on the cheapest economy seat: about $183 in taxes and fees, well above the route's typical economy taxes, so more points and less cash can win. Measured against economy, premium economy is about 2.5 times the points and business about 3.7 times. Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is a bank-points transfer partner, but transfers are one-way, so confirm the seat before moving anything.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club takes economy at 12,000 points and business class at 44,500. Air France-KLM Flying Blue is cheapest in premium economy at 30,000 points. Alaska Atmos Rewards' 55,000-point first-class fare connects; treat it as mixed-cabin until each segment's cabin checks out. Of the other eight, Air Canada Aeroplan, American AAdvantage, and Avianca LifeMiles are worth a look too.
Scandinavian Airlines and Delta (both SkyTeam members) show nonstop award space on New York–Copenhagen, so partner programs across the alliance can price the nonstop, not just the carriers' own. For connecting options, the better-priced awards in the data connect in London, Frankfurt, and Paris. Partner pricing sets the economy floor: Virgin Atlantic Flying Club books Air France as a SkyTeam partner, and no program prices Air France lower in that cabin at last check.
Departing the New York area, Newark (EWR) matches the route's 12,000-point economy floor; LaGuardia (LGA) prices from 22,500. Newark has nonstop flights to Copenhagen in the data too. New York to Amsterdam prices the same, from 12,000 points at last check. Confirm the departure airport before transferring points, because New York awards can also leave from White Plains (HPN).
