Roughly 1,260 miles separate Miami International Airport (MIA) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), so a nonstop spends about 3 hours in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. American Airlines and Delta both carry nonstop award space in the data. The Airbus A321 and Boeing 737-800 both appear on those nonstop award segments. Nonstops make up only about 14% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
For Miami–Boston, the cash fare is the benchmark an award has to beat. The economy floor is a partner booking on an American Airlines nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Expect about $26 in taxes and fees on top, above the route's typical economy taxes. If the cash price is modest, buying the ticket is often the better trade. The exception is nonstop first class: at about double economy (less than business), it's the cabin where an award is most worth checking against the cash fare.
Alaska Atmos Rewards is cheapest in economy at 7,500 points and first class at 15,000, both on American Airlines nonstops. Qantas Frequent Flyer wins business class at 43,600 points. Among the remaining four programs, American AAdvantage, Virgin Australia Velocity, and Delta SkyMiles are good places to cross-check. No program wins more than two cabins here, so pick the seat first, then the currency.
Two airlines show nonstop award space on Miami–Boston: American Airlines (oneworld) and Delta (SkyTeam). Partner programs in both alliances can price a nonstop here, not just the carriers' own. Partner pricing sets the business-class floor: Qantas Frequent Flyer books American Airlines as a oneworld partner, and no program prices American Airlines lower in that cabin at last check. With only five airlines holding award seats but six programs pricing them, the currency you book with matters more than the carrier.
On the Miami end, Fort Lauderdale (FLL) costs more, at 9,500 points in economy against the 7,500-point floor, so it's a second choice rather than a first; West Palm Beach (DJT) prices from 12,500. Fort Lauderdale also logs nonstop flights to Boston in the data. Pricing the round trip? Boston to Miami is tracked separately, and awards can price differently each way. If the destination is open, Miami to Atlanta prices from 4,500 points at last check.
