This route runs from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Nice (NCE). The nonstop award space in the data is split between American Airlines and Delta. The Boeing 767-400ER appears on some of those nonstop award segments. Expect mostly connecting results: less than 1% of the award options in the data are nonstop.
Booking New York–Nice with points starts with the cabin, then the program. The economy floor is a partner booking on an American Airlines nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. The data doesn't include taxes on that seat, so confirm the cash portion at checkout. The middle step, premium economy, costs about 3.2 times economy; business costs about 6 times. That floor books through GOL Smiles, so it suits miles you already hold; if you'd be moving bank points, price a transfer partner first.
GOL Smiles is cheapest in economy at 9,500 points on an American Airlines nonstop. Air France-KLM Flying Blue wins premium economy at 30,000 points. Alaska Atmos Rewards takes business class at 55,000 points. It also lists first class from 55,000 points on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight. The other 10 programs include Air Canada Aeroplan, United MileagePlus, and American AAdvantage.
The New York–Nice 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. Beyond the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data change planes in London, Paris, and Amsterdam. In economy, the floor sits on American Airlines but books through GOL Smiles, a partner redemption.
From the New York side, Newark (EWR) and LaGuardia (LGA) both start at 22,500 points in economy, well above the route's 9,500-point economy floor, so they're only worth it when JFK is sold out. Newark also logs nonstop flights to Nice in the data. For another option from New York, Amsterdam prices from 12,000 points at last check.
