This route runs from Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) to Lima (LIM). United Airlines carries all of the nonstop award space in the data. The Boeing 767-300 shows up on those nonstop award segments. Nonstops make up only about 1% of the award options in the data; the rest connect.
Booking Houston–Lima with points starts with the cabin, then the program. The cheapest economy seat connects once; skipping the connection means an economy nonstop on United Airlines at a higher price. Taxes and fees on the economy floor run about $21, below the route's typical economy taxes. Moving up to business costs about double the economy points. Hold off on converting flexible points until the seat is confirmed bookable; there's no undoing a transfer.
American AAdvantage wins economy at 13,500 points and business class at 27,500. First class starts at 50,000 points through Alaska Atmos Rewards on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight. Of the other eight, Air Canada Aeroplan, Air France-KLM Flying Blue, and Qantas Frequent Flyer are worth a look too. A transfer bonus to another program can still undercut American AAdvantage, so recheck before moving points.
United Airlines alone shows nonstop award space on Houston–Lima in the data. It's a Star Alliance carrier, so partner programs across the alliance can price it, not just United MileagePlus. Off the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data route through Miami, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Mexico City.
Houston–Lima has no same-metro alternates in the data on either end, so shifting dates does the work a second airport would. For a lower-cost trip from Houston, Cabo San Lucas starts from 12,500 points at last check.
