On a domestic run like Los Angeles–Dallas, award prices go head to head with cash fares. 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, in line with 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.

With just five airlines holding award seats here, flexible dates do more work than carrier choice.
