If you've been sitting on a modest Aeroplan balance and eyeing a trip to London, this is a practical redemption worth considering. Boston to London Heathrow is available on May 2, 2026 for 29,700 miles in economy, with $84 in taxes and fees. Availability looks wide open, so you should have flexibility when booking for a family.
For context, this route typically prices at around 50,000 Aeroplan miles in economy. At 29,700 miles, you're saving over 20,000 miles per ticket—meaningful savings if you're booking for multiple travelers. The taxes are also reasonable for a transatlantic flight into the UK.
This redemption books through Air Canada's Aeroplan program, which is a transfer partner of American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One, and Chase Ultimate Rewards. If your Aeroplan balance is short, you can top it off with a points transfer, though remember that transfers from some programs can take a day or two to process.
One practical tip: May is a pleasant time to visit London, with longer days and mild weather before the summer crowds arrive. If you're traveling with kids, the timing works well for spring break extensions or early summer trips depending on your school calendar.
