This award prices out at about 3% below the usual 50,000-mile rate you'd typically see for LAX-NRT economy redemptions through Aeroplan. It's not a blockbuster discount, but for families planning a spring break trip to Japan, the combination of lower miles and wide-open availability makes this worth a look.
April is a particularly appealing time to visit Tokyo, as it falls during cherry blossom season. Availability shows plenty of seats on April 22, 2026, which should make it easier to book multiple tickets for a family without having to split across different flights.
Aeroplan transfers instantly from American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One, and Chase Ultimate Rewards, so you have several options for pooling points if you're short on miles. Keep in mind that Aeroplan's dynamic pricing means these rates can shift, so if this works for your plans, it's worth locking in sooner rather than later.
One practical tip: check nearby dates as well. When availability is this open, you may find similar pricing across a wider window, giving you flexibility to extend or adjust your trip.
