StrategyOn an ultra-long-haul trip like Boston–Hong Kong, pick the cabin before the program. The economy floor connects once; in the data, Cathay Pacific's nonstop shows up only in premium economy, not economy. The data lists only about $6 in taxes on the cheapest economy seat, likely incomplete for an international ticket; confirm at checkout. Stepping up costs about 1.8 times the economy points for premium economy and about 2.8 times for business, though the cheapest business award carries heavy fees.

ProgramsDelta SkyMiles takes economy at 30,000 points. Alaska Atmos Rewards is cheapest in premium economy at 55,000 points and business class at 85,000. Delta SkyMiles' 245,000-point first-class fare connects; treat it as mixed-cabin until each segment's cabin checks out. Of the other eight, United MileagePlus, Air Canada Aeroplan, and Qantas Frequent Flyer are worth a look too. Premium economy is a partner award on British Airways too.
