Deal alert: Fly from Boston, Miami and other US cities to Geneva from $313 round-trip
Flights to Geneva are on sale right now from a number of U.S. cities. Geneva is a world-class city known for its luxurious industries like watchmaking, as well as its wine and cheese. Not to mention, it's one of the capitals of the geopolitical world. This sale offers the chance to visit the Swiss city for an unusually low price.
Some flights are as low as $313 round-trip, depending on your departure city and airline. The best prices we found were for travel between November 2024 and February 2025, but November was far and away the month with the best options.
These flights all have layovers and involve economy tickets. That means you'll get a free carry-on, but checked baggage will cost you between $75 and $105 each way, depending on the airline.

Sample flights
Some of the lowest prices for flights to Switzerland are out of Miami. In December, you can fly Iberia from Miami International Airport (MIA) to Geneva Airport (GVA) for as low as $357 round-trip. This route has a layover in Barcelona each way.
We found flights from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to GVA in November for as low as $313 round-trip.
According to Google Flights, this price is about $500 less than the route typically sells for.
United has round-trip fares from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport (ORD) to GVA in November and December for $463.
Scandinavian Airlines has flights from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) to GVA for $433 round-trip in November. That's an excellent price for this route. Just remember that checking luggage on SAS could cost you around $100 each way, so traveling light could save you a lot of money.
We also found bargains from the tri-state area. TAP Air Portugal has round-trip fares from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to GVA for only $438. Once again, this is a November itinerary. That's the month with the lowest prices and best availability, based on our searches.
