This route runs from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Santiago (SCL). Nonstop award space in the data comes from a single airline: LATAM. The Boeing 787-8 and Boeing 787-9 both appear on those nonstop award segments. Only about 1% of the award options in the data are nonstop, so most results connect.
Booking New York–Santiago with points starts with the cabin, then the program. Saving points means connecting: the economy floor connects once, and an economy nonstop on LATAM costs more. The cheapest economy seat adds about $6 in taxes and fees, below the route's typical economy taxes. Premium economy runs about 1.8 times the economy price and business about 3.3 times. 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 18,000 points and premium economy at 33,000. Avianca LifeMiles wins business class at 60,000 points. Delta SkyMiles lists first class from 279,700 points, but the fare connects, which usually means first on one leg only; read every segment. The other seven programs include Air France-KLM Flying Blue, Qantas Frequent Flyer, and United MileagePlus.
On points, the New York–Santiago nonstop belongs to LATAM alone in the data. Connecting awards near the price floor run through Miami, Panama City, and Atlanta.
Leaving New York, Newark (EWR) and LaGuardia (LGA) both come in only slightly higher at 22,000 points in economy against the 18,000-point floor, making them a sensible check when JFK awards dry up. Flexible on where you land? New York to Amsterdam starts from 12,000 points at last check.
