Booking New York–Sao Paulo with points starts with the cabin, then the program. The economy floor connects once; an economy nonstop on Delta or LATAM costs more. Taxes and fees on the cheapest economy seat run about $6, below the route's typical economy taxes. The middle step, premium economy, costs about 1.8 times economy; business costs about 2.8 times. Transfers out of bank programs can't be reversed, so confirm the exact flight is bookable first.
American AAdvantage takes economy at 18,000 points. Alaska Atmos Rewards is cheapest in premium economy at 32,500 points and business class at 50,000, both on American Airlines nonstops. It also lists first class from 60,000 points on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight. The other eight programs include Air France-KLM Flying Blue, GOL Smiles, and Qantas Frequent Flyer.
