This is a solid opportunity for families planning a spring trip to the UK. At 33,300 miles per person, a family of four could fly to London for under 134,000 miles total, compared to the usual 200,000 miles at standard rates. The $52 in taxes is also refreshingly low for a transatlantic redemption.

Availability on April 7, 2026 is wide open, which is notable since finding multiple award seats together can be one of the biggest challenges for family travel. April also hits a nice sweet spot for London visits—past the worst of winter but before peak summer pricing kicks in.

If you don't have Aeroplan miles on hand, the program partners with Chase, Amex, Capital One, and Bilt, so transferring points is straightforward. Just remember that transfers can take a few hours to process, so confirm availability is still there before initiating a large transfer.

One practical tip: Aeroplan allows free stopovers on award tickets, so consider adding a night or two in Toronto or Montreal on your way across the Atlantic if your schedule allows.
