The food and service are both solid. If you can get one of the throne seats, it's even better as you'll have tons of space -- the armrests are like small tables. If traveling with someone, you might want to choose seats in the middle section.
Unless you have Miles & More Senator or Hon Circle status, you won't be able to select the throne seats for free until 24-48 hours prior to departure (if available). However, you can pay ~$150-200 for a throne seat.

|  | | Lifemiles: Great Option On Many Routes
Lifemiles is your best option for JFK to Zurich non-stop at 55,000 miles if you have Amex, Bilt, Capital One, or Citi points. On the Geneva route, 60,000 points is a solid rate but matched by Aeroplan.
Other U.S. options will require 69,000 lifemiles while flights from Canadian airports will require 63,000 miles. While lifemiles has the advantage from Toronto (YYZ), I would consider Aeroplan for U.S. options beyond the east coast and Montreal (YUL).
However, Citi’s 25% transfer bonus could make lifemiles the best option regardless of departure airport: JFK - ZRH: 44,000 Citi points JFK - GVA: 48,000 Citi points YUL, YYZ - ZRH: 63,000 Citi points Other routes: 69,000 Citi points
Aeroplan: Great Option From East Coast
If you have Bilt, Capital One, or Chase points, Aeroplan is your best bet at 60,000 points for a nonstop from the east coast - including Montreal - except for flights between JFK and Zurich.
A non-stop from the central U.S. and west coast will require 70,000 points, but Aeroplan is generally easier to work with than lifemiles if there are issues, so I’d be willing to use a 1,000 more miles if you don’t have Citi points.
If you fly from the west coast routes and need a connection on either end, you’ll likely bump the rate up to 90,000 Aeroplan points.
If you have the Chase Aeroplan Card, you can get a 10% bonus when transferring 50,000+ Ultimate Rewards points.
That means you’d only need to transfer 55,000 Chase points to get 60,000 Aeroplan points or 64,000 Chase points to get 70,000 Aeroplan points. |
