This redemption from SFO to NRT on July 5, 2026, prices at 85,000 Aeroplan miles with just $80 in taxes and fees. Only 2 seats remain at this price, so this works well for a couple but not a larger family.

For context, business class awards from the West Coast to Japan typically run around 110,000 Aeroplan miles. This availability represents solid value if you have the points on hand and flexibility isn't a concern.

July is peak summer travel season to Japan, which makes finding any business class availability notable. If your travel dates are fixed around early July, this is worth a serious look.

One practical tip: Aeroplan allows free cancellations up to 24 hours after booking, so you can lock this in while you confirm your plans. After that window, standard change and cancellation fees apply.
