Roughly 370 miles separate New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), so a nonstop spends about 1h15 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. The nonstop award space in the data is split between Air Canada and Delta. The Bombardier CRJ900 and Embraer 175 both appear on those nonstop award segments. Nonstops account for about 17% of the award options in the data.
Points have to beat the cash fare to earn their keep on New York–Toronto. The cheapest economy seat is a partner award on an Air Canada nonstop, so the lowest price is also the quickest trip. Expect about $39 in taxes and fees on top, above the route's typical economy taxes. Points pay off here mainly when fares run high, so redeem then and pay cash otherwise. Bank points transfer to Etihad Guest; check for a transfer bonus, then confirm the seat before moving them.
Etihad Guest is cheapest in economy at 6,000 points on an Air Canada nonstop. GOL Smiles wins business class at 15,100 points on an Air Canada nonstop. First class starts at 16,500 points through American AAdvantage on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight. Also in the mix: United MileagePlus, Air France-KLM Flying Blue, and Delta SkyMiles.
Two airlines show nonstop award space on New York–Toronto: Air Canada (Star Alliance) and Delta (SkyTeam). Partner programs in both alliances can price a nonstop here, not just the carriers' own. The business-class floor is a partner award: GOL Smiles sells the Air Canada nonstop.
From the New York side, LaGuardia (LGA) beats JFK at 4,500 points in economy against the 6,000-point floor; Newark (EWR) prices from 8,500.
