This redemption prices at 87,500 Aeroplan miles one-way in business class from SFO to NRT, departing April 14, 2026. Only one seat is available, so this is best suited for a solo traveler or someone scouting options for a future trip.
For context, Aeroplan business class awards to Tokyo typically run around 110,000 miles, making this a solid value at roughly 20% off the standard rate. The $101 in taxes and fees is also reasonable for a transpacific business class ticket.
Keep in mind that with only one seat showing, availability could disappear quickly. If you have the miles and your dates are flexible, this is worth booking now rather than waiting. Award space to Japan in spring can be competitive, especially during cherry blossom season.
One practical tip: if you're transferring points from a partner like American Express or Chase, make sure to account for transfer times before the seat disappears. Aeroplan transfers are usually quick, but it's always wise to have miles in your account before searching.
