 Theres 4 Carriers that fly non-stop ElAl,CO,USAir, & DL

 To NY: ElAl (JFK & EWR)

           CO (EWR)

           DL (JFK)

 TO LA: ElAl

 TO ATL: DL

 TO PHL: US

 so say you are heading to Philly then youd want to use US

 That said its another thing to find Award Space, Id 1st check to see who has the space before transferring anything out of Amex.

 Also most of those Carriers have partners so you could transfer to AA and then fly on ElAl or transfer to say KLM and fly on DL. So you also would need to look at what Dan has set up somewhere on this site that tells you how many Miles each Carrier requires to fly on a partner. eg put the miles into Flying Blue (AirFrance) but you fly on DL a SkyTeam partner
