Flying Seattle to Miami covers about 2,720 miles, linking Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) with Miami International Airport (MIA); a nonstop takes roughly 6 hours, with winds moving it either way. Alaska Airlines and Delta both carry nonstop award space in the data. The Airbus A321 appears on some of those nonstop award segments. Most award options in the data connect. Nonstops are just about 4% of the total.
Seattle–Miami is domestic, but at over six hours in the air, the cabin comes before the program. The economy floor connects once; an economy nonstop on either carrier costs more. Taxes and fees on the cheapest economy seat run about $6, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. Moving up to business costs about 6 times the economy points. First class undercuts business here, so price it before settling. Hold off on converting flexible points until the seat is confirmed bookable; there's no undoing a transfer.
American AAdvantage takes economy at 10,000 points and first class at 25,000. Etihad Guest is cheapest in business class at 60,000 points. Among the remaining four programs, United MileagePlus, Delta SkyMiles, and Qantas Frequent Flyer are good places to cross-check. With the winner changing twice as you move up, decide where you'll sit before deciding where to move points.
The Seattle–Miami nonstop is contested on points: Alaska Airlines (oneworld) and Delta (SkyTeam) both show award space. That gives partner currencies from both alliances a way onto a nonstop. Off the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data route through Chicago. In business class, the floor sits on American Airlines but books through Etihad Guest, a partner redemption. Only five airlines show award space here, but six programs sell their seats, so the program matters more than the carrier.
On the Miami side, Fort Lauderdale (FLL) starts at 12,500 points in economy, close to the route's 10,000-point economy floor and worth pricing when Miami International space is thin. For another option from Seattle, Anchorage prices from 12,500 points at last check. Confirm the departure airport before transferring points, because Seattle awards can also leave from Everett's Paine Field (PAE).
