This isn't a blockbuster deal, but it's a solid option if you're planning a spring 2026 trip to Japan. The 48,400-mile price represents about 3% savings compared to the typical 50,000 miles Aeroplan usually charges for LAX-NRT in economy. For a family of four, that's roughly 6,400 miles back in your pocket.

Availability looks strong for April 12, 2026, with plenty of seats showing. April is a popular time to visit Japan thanks to cherry blossom season, so locking in award space now—especially at a slight discount—is worth considering if Tokyo is on your list.

Aeroplan transfers instantly from American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One, and Chase Ultimate Rewards, making it easy to pull together the miles you need. Keep in mind that Aeroplan pricing can be dynamic, so rates may shift as you search different dates.

One practical tip: if you're flexible on dates, search a few days in either direction. You may find the same 48,400-mile rate on nearby dates, giving you more options to build your itinerary around.
