Miami–New York is domestic, so price it in cash before you price it in points. The economy floor is a partner booking on an American Airlines nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Taxes and fees on that seat run about $18, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. Points pay off here mainly when fares run high, so redeem then and pay cash otherwise. Transfers out of bank programs can't be reversed, so confirm the exact flight is bookable first.
Alaska Atmos Rewards takes economy at 7,500 points and first class at 15,000, both on American Airlines nonstops. Qantas Frequent Flyer is cheapest in business class at 29,000 points. Delta SkyMiles 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.
The Miami–New York nonstop is contested on points: American Airlines (oneworld) and Delta (SkyTeam) both show award space. That gives partner currencies from both alliances a way onto a nonstop. In business class, the floor sits on American Airlines, booked through oneworld partner Qantas Frequent Flyer. Only two airlines hold award inventory on the route, yet three programs price them, so the competition is between currencies more than carriers.
Leaving Miami, Fort Lauderdale (FLL) beats Miami International at 7,000 points in economy against the 7,500-point floor. At the New York end, LaGuardia (LGA) matches that floor. Fort Lauderdale has nonstop flights to New York in the data too. The return, New York to Miami, has its own page, since award pricing can differ by direction. For another option from Miami, Bogota prices from 9,870 points at last check.
