"Swiss has a solid business class product, with their longhaul fleet featuring direct aisle access from every business class seat."
IIRC, they have the "regular" Vantage seats, which are 5-across in 2-2-1 or 1-2-2... While a good product, not all seats have aisle access.
Also, beware on Swiss that the throne seats cost money to reserve, and the best paired seats (the ones with a big console on one side) are blocked for elites. It's made better by the fact that there are no fuel surcharges, but still good to know about in advance.

No swiss seats shown even though United shows availability
Just booked LX First in December (more than 14 days out!!) with aeroplan miles.
Even 2 pax would have been possible. tax was CAD 7.20
LX F is (currently only?) bookable with M&M ONLINE as well, so not only available to SEN/HON via hotline. tax there is US$ 501.60. Hugh difference here and you'll need 85'000 oneway instead of 70'000 only when booking with aeroplan.
