A business class 3-continent Oneworld Explorer bought and started in Switzerland has a base price of CHF8,520 (plus taxes and fees.) The same ticket bought and started in the Euro zone has a base price of CHF 6,864, and in Norway CHF 6,267. So for the price of a one-way "positioning" ticket from GVA to OSL you'd save over CHF 2,200 in the base price. From there, an itinerary like OSL-HEL-PEK//NGB-HKG-YVR-JFK-LHR-GVA-LHR-OSL would be possible.
