You can see our review of SWISS business class here and Lufthansa business class review here.
You can’t earn Avios from these flights as both airlines are in Star Alliance, not oneworld. Our article on how to earn Star Alliance miles from credit cards will give you a few tips on topping up what you earn.
Your best option for paying is American Express Preferred Rewards Gold which offers double points – 2 per £1 – when you book flight tickets directly with an airline. Our review of Amex Gold is here.
You can book via the special Lufthansa website here or SWISS here.

How to earn Star Alliance miles from UK credit cards (April 2025)
None of the Star Alliance airlines currently have a UK credit card.
There is, however, still a way to earn Star Alliance miles from a UK credit card.
The route is via Marriott Bonvoy. Marriott Bonvoy hotel loyalty points convert to over 40 airlines at the rate of 3:1.
The best way to earn Marriott Bonvoy points is via the official Marriott Bonvoy American Express card. It comes with 20,000 points for signing up and 2 points for every £1 you spend. At 2 Bonvoy points per £1, you are earning (at 3:1) 0.66 airline miles per £1 spent on the card.
There is a preferential conversion rate to United Airlines – which is a Star Alliance member – of 2 : 1 if you convert 60,000 Bonvoy points at once.
The Star Alliance members which are Marriott Bonvoy transfer partners are: Aegean, Air Canada, Air China, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Avianca, Copa Airlines, Singapore Airlines, TAP Air Portugal, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines and United Airlines.
