We are seeing wide-open availability in each direction, flying lie-flat business class on SWISS Air starting at 60,000 points when booking via Air Canada Aeroplan.

There are also options in economy for just 30,000 points if you don’t mind flying in the back of the plane on this nonstop, 8-hour flight.

Class: Business
Route: Boston (BOS), New York-Kennedy (JFK), Newark (EWR), and Washington, D.C. (IAD) to Geneva (GVA) and Zurich (ZRH)
Cost: 60,000 to 70,000 Aeroplan points and CA$80 (roughly $56) in taxes and fees
Travel Dates: March 2025 to January 2026
Award Seats: Up to 2 passengers per route in business, up to 9 passengers in economy

With availability for up to 9 passengers in business class on some dates, this is a great chance to visit Switzerland or use its central location as a jumping-off point to explore Europe in 2025.

How To Book

We generally recommend booking these award flights through Aeroplan. You’ll pay 60,000 points plus about $55.60 per person on flights like New York (JFK) to Geneva (GVA).

If you’re flying from the central or western part of the U.S., you’ll pay slightly more at 70,000 points per person.

Some routes are available through Avianca LifeMiles, paying anywhere from 63,000 to 80,000 miles per person. Pricing depends on routes and whether you have a connecting flight, based on what happened in a recent devaluation.

It’s also possible to pay 100,000 ANA Mileage Club miles per person round-trip (round-trip bookings are required) or pay 80,000 to 88,000 United MileagePlus miles per person. The cheaper price is available if you have United elite status or a United credit card.

No matter how you book, there is currently wide-open availability each way, both in economy and business class. Availability runs through January 2026, so play around with dates to find the best itinerary for you.

You also can check a tool like Seats.aero to see numerous dates and routes at once.

Finally, you can even transfer from Marriott Bonvoy at a 3:1 ratio if you are in a pinch.
