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).

Some routes are available for the same number of miles when booking through Avianca LifeMiles, paying 60,000 miles plus $27.80 in taxes and fees per person between JFK and GVA. You also could save with a LifeMiles+ subscription to get over the ocean for 27,000 miles in economy.

It’s also possible to pay 80,000 to 88,000 United MileagePlus miles per person for these bookings. 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 from the start of 2025 until November, 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.

The good thing about Aeroplan points is that you can quickly (and easily) transfer from Amex Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One miles, and Chase Ultimate Rewards to Air Canada Aeroplan at a 1:1 rate. Finally, you can even transfer from Marriott Bonvoy at a 3:1 ratio if you are in a pinch.
