The Miami–Medellin nonstop is contested on points: Avianca (Star Alliance) and American Airlines (oneworld) both show award space. That gives partner currencies from both alliances a way onto a nonstop. When nonstop space is gone, the cheaper connecting awards in the data route through Mexico City, Bogotá, and Panama City. In economy, the floor sits on Avianca but books through GOL Smiles, a partner redemption. Only four airlines show award inventory on the route, so date flexibility matters more than carrier choice.
