Los Angeles–Austin Flights
This route runs from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Austin (AUS). American Airlines, Delta, and United Airlines all carry nonstop award space in the data.

Best Ways to Book With Points & Miles
Booking Los Angeles–Austin with points starts with the cabin, then the program. Saving points means connecting: the economy floor connects once, and an economy nonstop on any of the three carriers costs more. Taxes and fees on the cheapest economy seat run about $6, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. Business runs about 4 times the economy price. A nonstop first-class seat undercuts business here, so price it before settling. Delta SkyMiles is a bank-points transfer partner, but transfers are one-way, so confirm the seat before moving anything.
Best Points & Miles Programs
Delta SkyMiles wins economy at 6,700 points. Etihad Guest takes business class at 30,000 points on an American Airlines nonstop. American AAdvantage is cheapest in first class at 15,000 points on an American Airlines nonstop. United MileagePlus and Alaska Atmos Rewards also price the route and are worth a cross-check before transferring. With the winner changing twice as you move up, decide where you'll sit before deciding where to move points.
Airlines & Routing Options
Los Angeles–Austin draws nonstop award space from three alliances: American Airlines (oneworld), Delta (SkyTeam), and United Airlines (Star Alliance). Partner programs in all three alliances can each book a nonstop. Connecting awards near the price floor run through Charlotte. In business class, the floor sits on American Airlines but books through Etihad Guest, a partner redemption. With only four airlines holding award seats but five programs pricing them, the currency you book with matters more than the carrier.
Alternative Airports & Routes
On the Los Angeles end, Ontario (ONT) costs far more at 13,800 points in economy against the 6,700-point floor and isn't worth it unless LAX has nothing; Burbank (BUR) prices from 15,000. Los Angeles is the cheapest Austin departure tracked here at last check; San Francisco to Austin starts from 8,000 points.
Booking tips
- 1Search flexible dates first, since saver award seats can appear on scattered days.
- 2Compare partner programs before transferring points, since the same seat can price very differently.
- 3Check both direct and connecting options when direct award seats are limited.
- 4Book early for peak travel periods, when saver space disappears fastest.
- 5Recheck availability often, since airlines may release more award seats closer to departure.
