Award Alert Details

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

There are also economy flights for just 32,500 points if you don’t mind flying in the back of the plane on this nonstop, 8-hour flight.

• Class: Business
• Booking program: Aeroplan
• Airline: SWISS
• Route: Boston (BOS), New York (JFK), and Newark (EWR) to Zurich (ZRH), plus New York (JFK) to Geneva (GVA)

• Travel dates: October 2026 to August 2027

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 other parts of Europe.

There are multiple dates available for flights 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 by redeeming Aeroplan points. You’ll 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 parts of the U.S., you’ll pay slightly more: 75,000 points per person. Here’s an example from Chicago (ORD) to Zurich:

Some routes are available through Avianca Lifemiles, costing anywhere from 63,000 to 80,000 miles per person. Pricing depends on the route and whether you have a connecting flight, based on 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 to United elite members or United cardholders. However, these programs offer less availability than Aeroplan.

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

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

The Best Credit Card for Earning These Points

With just a $95 annual fee, the Chase Sapphire Preferred^® Card‘s welcome offer can give you more than enough points for this flight. Points from the welcome offer and daily spending transfer 1:1 (and instantly) from Chase to Aeroplan, and paying with this card also provides great insurance protections in case something goes wrong during your trip.

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!
