• Route: Boston (BOS), Newark (EWR), and New York CIty (JFK) to Zurich (ZRH) plus New York City (JFK) to Geneva (GVA)

There are multiple dates available to Zurich and Geneva. You can check a tool like Seats.aero to see numerous dates and routes at once, then head to Aeroplan to book once you’ve found something you like.

How To Book

We recommend booking these award flights through Aeroplan. You’d pay 60,000 points plus about $58 per person on flights like New York (JFK) to Zurich (ZRH).

If you’re flying from the central or western part of the U.S., you’d pay slightly more, at 70,000 points per person. Here’s an example from Los Angeles (LAX) to Zurich:

Some routes are available through Avianca Lifemiles, costing 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 (or 50,000 ANA miles one-way) or 80,000 to 88,000 United MileagePlus miles per person one-way. The lower price is available if you have United elite status or a United credit card. However, these programs show less availability than Aeroplan offers.

No matter how you book, there is currently great availability in both economy and business class. Availability runs through February 2027, so you can play around with dates to find the best itinerary.

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. You can also earn Aeroplan points from welcome offers and daily spending on the Aeroplan^® Credit Card, issued by Chase in the U.S.

Final Thoughts

Jetting off to Switzerland in business class is a dream for many. And with flights starting at 60,000 Aeroplan points, you can make that dream a reality!
