Flying Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale covers about 2,340 miles, linking Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) with Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL); a nonstop takes roughly 5h10, with winds moving it either way. The nonstop award space in the data is split across JetBlue, United Airlines, and Delta. The Airbus A321, Airbus A321neo, and Boeing 737 all appear on those nonstop award segments. Expect mostly connecting results: only about 8% of the award options in the data are nonstop.
For Los Angeles–Fort Lauderdale, the cash fare is the benchmark an award has to beat. The cheapest economy seat connects once; skipping the connection means an economy nonstop on any of the three carriers at a higher price. Taxes and fees on the economy floor run about $6, below the route's typical economy taxes. If the cash price is modest, buying the ticket is often the better trade. Hold off on converting flexible points until the seat is confirmed bookable; there's no undoing a transfer.
American AAdvantage is cheapest in economy at 8,500 points and first class at 18,000. Avianca LifeMiles wins business class at 30,000 points. The other eight programs include United MileagePlus, Delta SkyMiles, and Air France-KLM Flying Blue. The cheapest program changes twice across the cabins, so match the program to the seat before moving points.
Three airlines show nonstop award space on Los Angeles–Fort Lauderdale: JetBlue, United Airlines (Star Alliance), and Delta (SkyTeam). Partner programs in both alliances can price a nonstop here, not just the carriers' own. Partner pricing sets the business-class floor: Avianca LifeMiles books Copa Airlines as a Star Alliance partner, and no program prices Copa Airlines lower in that cabin at last check.
From the Los Angeles side, Burbank (BUR) and Ontario (ONT) both cost more, at 15,000 points in economy against the 8,500-point floor, so they're a second choice rather than a first. At the Fort Lauderdale end, Miami (MIA) starts at 12,500 points in economy, above that floor, and works as a backup when Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood space is gone. Miami has nonstop flights from Los Angeles in the data too.
