This is a solid option for families planning a summer 2026 trip to Japan. At 85,000 miles plus $80 in taxes, you're looking at a meaningful discount compared to the ~110,000 miles Aeroplan typically charges for business class on this transpacific route.

The availability is for July 13, 2026, departing San Francisco (SFO) for Tokyo Narita (NRT). Only 2 seats remain at this price, so this works best for a solo traveler or a couple. If you're a family of four, you'd need to search for other dates or consider splitting across cabins.

Aeroplan miles can be earned through Air Canada's program directly, or transferred from American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Capital One miles. Transfer times are generally quick, but it's wise to have your miles already in your Aeroplan account before searching, especially with limited availability like this.

One practical tip: Aeroplan's search engine sometimes shows more availability when you're logged in versus searching as a guest. If you don't see the award right away, try logging into your account and searching again.
