Award availability has opened up on the Chicago (ORD) to London (LHR) route through Air Canada Aeroplan at a notably lower redemption rate. The program is currently pricing economy seats at 33,300 miles with just $45 in taxes and fees for travel on April 19, 2026.
This represents solid value compared to typical pricing. Aeroplan usually charges around 50,000 miles for economy awards on this transatlantic route, making this a savings of roughly 17,000 miles per ticket. For families booking multiple seats, those savings add up quickly.
Availability appears to be wide open at this price point, so you should have flexibility when selecting seats for your group. Aeroplan miles can be earned through Air Canada's credit card partners or transferred from American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One, and Chase Ultimate Rewards.
One practical tip: if you're transferring points from a bank partner, start the transfer a day or two before you plan to book. Most transfers complete within 24 hours, but having your miles in place before searching helps you lock in availability without delays.
