This routing from SFO to NRT prices at 85,000 Aeroplan miles with just $80 in taxes and fees. Standard redemptions on this route typically run around 110,000 miles for business class, so this represents a solid discount of roughly 25,000 miles per ticket.
The catch: only 2 seats are showing at this price for the July 18, 2026 departure. That makes this a good fit for a couple or a parent traveling with one child, but larger families will need to look elsewhere or book separately if more availability opens up.
July is peak summer travel season for Japan, so finding business class award space at all is notable. If your dates are flexible, it may be worth searching nearby dates to see if similar pricing exists on other departures.
One practical tip: Aeroplan allows stopovers on award tickets for a small fee, so consider whether adding a stop in Vancouver or another gateway city makes sense for your trip.
