We're seeing solid availability on May 6, 2026, for flights from LAX to Heathrow at a lower-than-usual redemption rate. At 39,500 miles, this beats the typical ~50,000 miles Aeroplan usually charges for economy awards on this route.
The $44 in taxes and fees is reasonable for a transatlantic flight, especially compared to partner programs that can tack on fuel surcharges pushing fees into the hundreds. Plenty of seats appear to be open on this date, which makes this a good option for families booking multiple tickets.
Aeroplan transfers instantly from American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One, and Chase Ultimate Rewards, so you have flexibility if your Aeroplan balance is short. Just confirm availability before transferring any points.
One practical tip: May is shoulder season in London, meaning fewer crowds and moderate weather. If your schedule allows travel in early May, this is a sensible time to visit.
