StrategyFor New York–Miami, the cash fare is the benchmark an award has to beat. The cheapest economy seat is a partner award on an American Airlines nonstop, so the lowest price is also the quickest trip. Taxes and fees on that seat run about $18, above the route's typical economy taxes. Points pay off here mainly when fares run high, so redeem then and pay cash otherwise. Hold off on converting flexible points until the seat is confirmed bookable; there's no undoing a transfer.
