This deal covers flights from Chicago O'Hare (ORD) to London Heathrow (LHR) departing July 15, 2026. At 32,500 miles one-way in economy, you're looking at roughly 35% savings compared to the typical 50,000-mile rate for this route. The low taxes of just $80 make this even more appealing, as transatlantic awards can sometimes come with hefty surcharges.
Availability appears strong right now, which is notable for peak summer travel to Europe. Families planning ahead for next summer should find it relatively easy to book multiple seats on the same flight without hunting across scattered dates.
Aeroplan miles transfer from American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Capital One, and Bilt Rewards, all at a 1:1 ratio. If you're short on Aeroplan miles, this could be a good use of transferable points given the discount.
One practical tip: London Heathrow has among the better public transit connections of any major airport. The Elizabeth Line runs directly into central London in about 30 minutes for a fraction of the cost of a taxi, making this a convenient arrival point for families with luggage.
