Boston to Zurich is a long-haul transatlantic corridor, and nonstop award space shows up on Swiss. Across the 12 programs pricing it, economy starts at 4,520 points on a Swiss nonstop. That price runs through Lufthansa Miles & More, another airline's program, so Swiss' own points aren't automatically the cheapest way on. This page compares every way to book BOS–ZRH on points.

Roughly 3,730 miles separate Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Zurich Airport (ZRH), so a nonstop spends about 8 hours in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Swiss carries all of the nonstop award space in the data. The Airbus A330-300 appears on those nonstop award segments. Less than 1% of the award options in the data are nonstop, so most results connect.
On a long-haul trip like Boston–Zurich, pick the cabin before the program. The economy floor is a partner booking on a Swiss nonstop, with no connection to trade off against the points. That seat adds about $299 in taxes and fees, well above the route's typical economy taxes, so weigh points and cash together before booking. Premium economy runs about 7 times the economy price and business about 10 times. Transfers out of bank programs can't be reversed, so confirm the exact flight is bookable first.
Lufthansa Miles & More takes economy at 4,520 points on a Swiss nonstop. Alaska Atmos Rewards is cheapest in premium economy at 30,000 points and business class at 45,000. It also lists first class from 55,000 points on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight. Of the other 10, Air Canada Aeroplan, Air France-KLM Flying Blue, and Avianca LifeMiles are worth a look too.
Only Swiss (Star Alliance) shows nonstop award space between Boston and Zurich in the data; partner programs across Star Alliance can price it alongside Swiss' own program. Beyond the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data change planes in London, Frankfurt, and New York. Alaska Atmos Rewards sets the business-class floor as a oneworld partner, selling British Airways seats at its own rates.
Neither Boston nor Zurich shows a same-metro alternate airport in the data, so the main airports are the ones to watch. For another option from Boston, Amsterdam prices from 10,000 points at last check. For a shorter trip from Boston, Aruba and Austin are tracked too.
