The economy floor connects once; an economy nonstop on any of the three carriers costs more. The data doesn't include taxes on the cheapest economy seat, so confirm the cash portion at checkout. Stepping up costs about 2.2 times the economy points for premium economy and about 5 times for business, though the cheapest business award carries heavy fees.
