The Big Picture
Having trouble finding saver awards to Europe next summer? Stress no more! We found saver award availability in business between May and September 2025 flying various Star Alliance carriers such as Lufthansa, SWISS Airlines, and TAP Portugal from the east coast (JFK or BOS) to Europe (ZRH, GVA, MUC, LIS) for as low as 60,000 per person booked through Avianca LifeMiles or Air Canada Aeroplan.
The best one-way price is through LifeMiles or Aeroplan while the best round trip price would be through ANA (100k total per person).
If you will be using AMEX points, this deal just became even sweeter. There is a 15% transfer bonus from AMEX to Avianca LifeMiles through Nov 30, 2024 bringing the price down to ~53k per person each way.
Please note ANA is only a transfer partner of AMEX and it would take at least two days for your points to transfer to ANA. If you book through Air Canada, you can also keep in mind you can add a stopover on each one-way or round trip ticket for as little as 5k extra per person.
All of the dates below have confirmed availability for at least 2 passengers in business. Expect taxes to be ~$50-100 per person one way.
