SWISS is running an Economy Class fare sale for travel between their USA gateways and most of Europe with fares starting as low as $630.
The sale covers a large window of travel that is open through May 2017. The only blackout period for the fare sale is over the Christmas holiday (December 14-23) otherwise there is plenty of inventory.
The best fares are predictably from the East Coast where Boston to Amsterdam can be booked for only $630. Fares from New York to most SWISS destinations in Europe range between $750 and $900.
From the West Coast, the best deal is to Paris which can be booked for only $750 from Los Angeles or San Francisco.
Based on the info I have, I don’t know when the fare sale ends but I can say that a Saturday night stay is required in order to receive the best fares.

Lufthansa’s latest fare sale has a few attractive deals whose highlight includes New York to Stockholm for only $470 as well as Washington to Munich for $499.
Aside from these fares, there are several deals from the East Coast to Europe that run in the low to mid $500 range such as Miami to Munich or Miami to Berlin. Even Chicago sees mid-$500 range fares with Chicago to Nuremberg or Chicago to Stuttgart.
Other fares from the East Coast run in the $600-750 range, while the Mid-West and West Coast fares range between $800 and $1200.
The sale is in place until October 6.
Departing flights must take place between October 11 and 29th and return travel can take place between October 12 and April 29, 2017. Tickets need to be purchased at least 21 days prior to departure and a weekend surcharge will apply if traveling between Thursday and Sunday. A Saturday night stay is required as well.

SWISS is running a Business Class fare sale between the US and Europe for travel between late November and early January. Well timed for the Holiday Market season throughout Europe.
Fares from the East Coast start in the $2700 range. From the West Coast, you can fly between LAX and Copenhagen for $3000. Otherwise most West Coast fares run in the mid to upper $3000 range.
Prices have been better in past years but these are still fairly attractive considering the product that you’ll experience while aboard SWISS aircraft.
The fares are valid for travel between November 19 and 25, and between December 12 and 31, though there were pockets of eligible return dates all the way to January 3. SWISS never clearly lays out their fare sale rules and conditions so sometimes it involves a bit of guess work in sorting out the details. What I did find out through trial and error is that a Saturday night stay is required, and a weekend surcharge will be applied for flights taking place between Thursdays and Sundays.
