Booking a SWISS Business Class Award

Air Canada Aeroplan charges 60,000 Aeroplan points each way for flights between Switzerland and Montreal, New York JFK, Newark, or Boston, and 70,000 points each way for flights between Switzerland and Chicago, Washington Dulles, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Toronto. Transfer points to Aeroplan instantly from Chase Ultimate Rewards (if you have a Sapphire Reserve or Ink Business Preferred).

It's possible to book with Avianca LifeMiles for 55,000-75,000 miles each way for these flights although LifeMiles customer support is abysmal, so we tend to avoid it. United MileagePlus charges 88K miles each way.
