For Dallas–New York, the cash fare is the benchmark an award has to beat. The economy floor is a partner booking on an American Airlines nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Expect about $18 in taxes and fees on top, above the route's typical economy taxes. Run the miles-or-cash math each time: a cheap fare usually beats spending points. The exception is nonstop first class: at about double economy (less than business), it's the cabin where an award is most worth checking against the cash fare.
Alaska Atmos Rewards takes economy at 7,500 points and first class at 15,000, both on American Airlines nonstops. American AAdvantage is cheapest in business class at 19,000 points. Delta SkyMiles also prices the route and is worth a cross-check before transferring. With the winner changing twice as you move up, decide where you'll sit before deciding where to move points.

With just three airlines holding award seats here, a route alert catches new space faster than rechecking each carrier.
