This deal gets you from Chicago O'Hare (ORD) to London Heathrow (LHR) in economy class for 32,500 Aeroplan miles and approximately $80 in taxes and fees. Availability is wide open for July 21, 2026, making this a reasonable option for families planning a summer trip to the UK.
The standard Aeroplan redemption for economy class on this route typically runs around 50,000 miles, so this represents meaningful savings of roughly 17,500 miles per ticket. For a family of four, that adds up to 70,000 miles back in your pocket—enough for another domestic round trip.
Aeroplan is a transfer partner of American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One, and Chase Ultimate Rewards, so you have multiple options for topping off your balance if needed. Transfers from Amex and Capital One are instant, while Chase transfers can take a day or two.
One practical note: July is peak summer travel season, so if this date works for your schedule, don't wait too long. Award availability at these rates tends to disappear as travel dates approach, even when inventory looks plentiful months out.
