This is in Delta's basic economy class, so although you won't get to choose your seat, you will be able to carry on a bag, so expect to pay just $77. Otherwise, consider upgrading to their main cabin for seat selection and the flexibility to change your flight if need be.
Since Miami-New York is a popular route for travelers based in both cities, let's try this nonstop round-trip fare for $79 from MIA to EWR for $79 on American.
This flight is in AA's main cabin, which includes seat selection and one carry-on.
It's important to note that these fares work in reverse, so New York City-area travelers can also take advantage of this deal by swapping your origin and destination cities, as shown below with this JFK-CHS nonstop fare for $97 on Delta.
