Roughly 2,720 miles separate Miami International Airport (MIA) and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), so a nonstop spends about 6 hours in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Nonstop flights do show up in the data (about 6% of options), but the cheapest award in every cabin connects.
Miami–Seattle is domestic, but at over six hours in the air, the cabin comes before the program. The cheapest economy seat connects once, so check the layover's length before booking. Taxes and fees on the economy floor run about $6, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. Moving up to business costs about 7 times the economy points. First class undercuts business here, so price it before settling. Transfers out of bank programs can't be reversed, so confirm the exact flight is bookable first.
American AAdvantage is cheapest in economy at 10,000 points and first class at 25,000. Qantas Frequent Flyer wins business class at 68,400 points. Virgin Australia Velocity also prices the route and is worth a cross-check before transferring. The cheapest program changes twice across the cabins, so match the program to the seat before moving points.
On this route, American Airlines (oneworld) holds two of the three cabin floors, so oneworld programs are a good first check. Qantas Frequent Flyer sets the business-class floor as a oneworld partner, selling American Airlines seats at its own rates. With just three airlines holding award seats here, a route alert catches new space faster than rechecking each carrier.
Departing the Miami area, Fort Lauderdale (FLL) starts at 16,500 points in economy, above the route's 10,000-point economy floor, and works as a backup when Miami International space is gone. Fort Lauderdale has nonstop flights to Seattle in the data too. The return, Seattle to Miami, has its own page, since award pricing can differ by direction. If the destination is open, Miami to Atlanta prices from 4,500 points at last check.
