Roughly 4,980 miles separate New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), so a nonstop spends about 10h30 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Alaska Airlines and Delta both carry nonstop award space in the data. Most award options in the data connect. Nonstops are just about 5% of the total.

New York–Honolulu is domestic but long-haul, so book it cabin first, then program. The economy floor is a partner booking on an Alaska Airlines nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. Taxes and fees on that seat run about $6, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. Stepping up costs about 1.4 times the economy points for premium economy and about 3.7 times for business. First class undercuts business here, so price it before settling.

American AAdvantage wins economy at 22,500 points and business class at 83,500. Alaska Atmos Rewards takes premium economy at 32,500 points and first class at 50,000. Also in the mix: United MileagePlus, Delta SkyMiles, and Qantas Frequent Flyer. Economy and first class also price as partner awards, with one airline's miles buying another airline's seat. The cheapest program changes three times across the cabins, so match the program to the seat before moving points.

On points, New York–Honolulu has nonstop seats from Alaska Airlines (oneworld) and Delta (SkyTeam), which puts partner programs from both alliances in play for a nonstop. Off the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data route through Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Chicago. Alaska Atmos Rewards sets the premium-economy floor as a oneworld partner, selling American Airlines seats at its own rates. With just five airlines holding award seats here, a route alert catches new space faster than rechecking each carrier.
