At about 600 miles from Miami International Airport (MIA) to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), a nonstop runs roughly 1h40, give or take with the winds. American Airlines and Delta both carry nonstop award space in the data. The Airbus A321, Boeing 737-800, and Boeing 757 all appear on those nonstop award segments. Nonstops account for about 27% of the award options in the data.
Miami–Atlanta is a domestic route, so the first question is whether to spend points at all. The economy floor is a partner booking on an American Airlines nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Taxes and fees on that seat run about $26, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. Points pay off here mainly when fares run high, so redeem then and pay cash otherwise. Hold off on converting flexible points until the seat is confirmed bookable; there's no undoing a transfer.
Alaska Atmos Rewards takes economy at 4,500 points and first class at 9,000, both on American Airlines nonstops. Qantas Frequent Flyer is cheapest in business class at 19,300 points on an American Airlines nonstop. Air France-KLM Flying Blue and Delta SkyMiles also price the route and are worth a cross-check before transferring. No program wins more than two cabins here, so pick the seat first, then the currency.
Nonstop award space on Miami–Atlanta spans two alliances: American Airlines (oneworld) and Delta (SkyTeam). That means partner programs in both alliances have a way onto a nonstop. The business-class floor is a oneworld partner award: Qantas Frequent Flyer prices the American Airlines nonstop. Only two airlines hold award inventory on the route, yet four programs price them, so the competition is between currencies more than carriers.
On the Miami end, Fort Lauderdale (FLL) costs far more at 11,000 points in economy against the 4,500-point floor and isn't worth it unless Miami International has nothing. Fort Lauderdale also logs nonstop flights to Atlanta in the data. The return, Atlanta to Miami, has its own page, since award pricing can differ by direction. No tracked Atlanta route beats Miami at last check; the next cheapest, Los Angeles to Atlanta, starts from 9,500 points.
