If you've been sitting on Aeroplan miles and eyeing a spring trip to the UK, this is a reasonable time to book. The LAX to London Heathrow route is pricing at 37,500 miles in economy, a noticeable discount from the roughly 50,000 miles you'd typically pay through the program.
Availability on May 4, 2026 looks wide open, which is helpful for families trying to book multiple seats together. The low $45 tax and fee add-on is also a plus—transatlantic awards can sometimes come with hefty surcharges depending on the carrier, so this keeps the out-of-pocket cost minimal.
One practical tip: Aeroplan miles transfer from American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One, and Chase Ultimate Rewards (in Canada), so check your balances across programs before booking. Transfers from Amex and Capital One are typically instant, which means you can top off your account if you're a few miles short.
May is a pleasant time to visit London, with milder weather and longer days before the peak summer crowds arrive. If your schedule has any flexibility, it's worth searching nearby dates to see if similar pricing holds.
