A full 12 programs price the route, and the cheapest economy award is 27,000 points on a routing that includes Air France.

This route runs from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Bangalore (BLR). Expect a connection: the award data shows no nonstop on this route.
Booking New York–Bangalore with points starts with the cabin, then the program. The economy floor connects once; with no nonstop to pay up for, extra points buy only a better connection or a higher cabin. The cheapest economy seat's $259 in taxes and fees is the catch, well above the route's typical economy taxes; more points and less cash can come out ahead. Premium economy runs barely more than the economy price and business about 1.9 times.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club wins economy at 27,000 points, premium economy at 21,000, and business class at 52,000. United MileagePlus lists first class from 220,000 points, but the fare connects, which usually means first on one leg only; read every segment. Of the other 10, American AAdvantage, Air Canada Aeroplan, and Delta SkyMiles are worth a look too. The economy floor is a partner award: one airline's miles on another airline's flights.
There's no nonstop award in the data for New York–Bangalore; every bookable option connects. On a connecting award, the airline named in the price table may fly only one leg, so confirm each segment's operator before moving points.
From the New York side, Newark (EWR) and LaGuardia (LGA) both start at 49,500 points in economy, above the route's 27,000-point economy floor, and work as backups when JFK space is gone. Flexible on where you land? New York to Amsterdam starts from 12,000 points at last check.
