If you've been sitting on Aeroplan miles and eyeing a spring trip to London, this is a solid opportunity to stretch your points. Chicago (ORD) to London Heathrow (LHR) is available in economy for 33,800 miles with just $45 in taxes and fees on April 19, 2026.

This redemption comes in well below the typical cost for this route, which usually runs around 50,000 Aeroplan miles in economy. The low taxes are also worth noting, as transatlantic awards can sometimes carry hefty surcharges depending on the carrier.

Availability appears to be wide open for this date, so families looking to book multiple seats should have room to work with. April is a pleasant time to visit London before the summer crowds arrive, and school spring breaks often fall around this window.

One practical tip: Aeroplan miles transfer instantly from American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One, and Chase Ultimate Rewards (in Canada), so if you're short on miles, you can top off your balance before booking.
