This redemption prices at 75,000 Aeroplan miles for one-way business class travel from LAX to NRT on April 18, 2026. The taxes and fees come in at a reasonable $89, making this a solid use of transferable points from Amex, Chase, or Capital One.
For context, Aeroplan business class awards to Tokyo typically run around 110,000 miles on this route. At 75,000 miles, you're saving roughly 35,000 miles on what is usually a premium redemption to Japan during spring travel season.
One important caveat: there's only a single seat available at this price. This makes it a better fit for solo travelers than families, though it's worth searching nearby dates to see if similar availability exists for additional passengers.
If you're flexible on dates, try searching a few days in either direction. April is cherry blossom season in Japan, so award space tends to be competitive. Lock this in quickly if your schedule allows.
