If you've been sitting on Aeroplan miles and eyeing a summer trip to London, this is a solid opportunity. Chicago O'Hare to London Heathrow is available on July 8, 2026, for 32,500 miles in economy, with just $80 in taxes and fees.
This rate stands out because Aeroplan typically prices this route closer to 50,000 miles each way. At 32,500 miles, you're getting a transatlantic flight for roughly a third less than the standard redemption rate. The low taxes are also notable—many European award tickets come with significantly higher surcharges.
Availability appears to be wide open for this date, which is particularly useful for families who need multiple seats together. July is peak summer travel season, so finding award space at a discount during this window doesn't happen every day.
One practical tip: Aeroplan miles transfer instantly from American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One, and Chase Ultimate Rewards (for Canadian cardholders). If you're a few thousand miles short, you can top off your balance quickly before booking.
