American Airlines recently became the first U.S. carrier to restore nonstop service to Caracas (CCS) after years without direct flights between the U.S. and Venezuela. Since the restart of the Miami (MIA) to Caracas (CCS) route in April, cash fares have remained expensive, and award availability has been virtually nonexistent.

That’s finally changed.

We’ve found excellent award availability for up to 7 passengers in American Airlines business class for just 15,000 Atmos Rewards points each way, making this one of the best ways to book this hard-to-find route with points.

Award Deal — Details

We’re finding wide-open award availability on American Airlines‘ nonstop flights between Miami (MIA) and Caracas (CCS) from November 2026 through January 2027. Even better, you can book these flights for just 15,000 points in business class, or as few as 7,500 points in economy.

You book these awards through Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards, and American Airlines operates the flights. Taxes and fees are minimal, making this deal an outstanding redemption on a route where award space has been almost impossible to find until now.

How To Book

Redeeming Atmos Rewards points is the best way to book this deal. However, earning Atmos Rewards points can be difficult.

The fastest way to earn these points is by using an Alaska Airlines credit card, but you can also earn points by shopping through the Atmos Rewards Shopping portal, dining at restaurants that participate in Atmos Rewards Dining, or flying with Alaska’s Oneworld partners. You can also transfer points from Bilt Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy.

Final Thoughts

With business class cash fares on this recently restored route starting at more than $1,000 one-way and limited nonstop options from other U.S. carriers, this is an excellent opportunity to fly to Caracas for just 15,000 Atmos Rewards points.

Better yet, we’re seeing plenty of availability from November 2026 through January 2027, making this one of the best chances to visit Venezuela using points.
