This redemption from LAX to NRT in business class is pricing at 87,500 Aeroplan miles with $101 in taxes and fees. Availability is limited to just 6 seats on the April 8, 2026 departure, so this one will likely move quickly among points collectors planning spring travel to Japan.
For context, business class awards between the U.S. West Coast and Tokyo typically run around 110,000 Aeroplan miles. At 87,500 miles, you're saving roughly 22,500 miles per ticket—a meaningful difference if you're booking for two or looking to stretch your points balance further.
April is a popular time to visit Japan, with cherry blossom season drawing visitors from around the world. If your schedule has flexibility, this could be a solid opportunity to lock in business class seats during a peak travel period without paying peak award prices.
One practical note: Aeroplan award availability can shift quickly, especially on popular transpacific routes. If you're interested, search and book soon rather than waiting to see if something better appears.
