At about 950 miles from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Orlando International Airport (MCO), a nonstop runs roughly 2h25, give or take with the winds.

For New York–Orlando, the cash fare is the benchmark an award has to beat. The cheapest economy seat connects once; skipping the connection means an economy nonstop on either carrier at a higher price. Taxes and fees on the economy floor run about $6, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. If the cash price is modest, buying the ticket is often the better trade. Hold off on converting flexible points until the seat is confirmed bookable; there's no undoing a transfer.
American AAdvantage wins economy at 7,000 points and first class at 14,500. Etihad Guest takes business class at 25,000 points. The other six programs include Air France-KLM Flying Blue, JetBlue TrueBlue, and Delta SkyMiles. With the winner changing twice as you move up, decide where you'll sit before deciding where to move points.
Nonstop award seats on New York–Orlando come from two carriers: JetBlue and Delta. Partner programs across SkyTeam can price Delta's nonstop too, not just Delta SkyMiles. The business-class floor is a partner award: Etihad Guest sells American Airlines seats. Only five airlines hold award inventory on the route, yet eight programs price them, so the competition is between currencies more than carriers.
For New York departures, Newark (EWR) beats JFK at 4,500 points in economy against the 7,000-point floor; LaGuardia (LGA) prices from 8,000. Newark and LaGuardia also log nonstop flights to Orlando in the data. Out of New York, Cancun is a cheaper redemption at last check, from 6,600 points.
