Aeroplan: First Class to Tokyo for 120,000 Miles (August 2026)

A single first class seat from San Francisco to Tokyo is available through Air Canada Aeroplan for 120,000 miles plus $80 in taxes, which is about 40% less than the typical redemption rate for this route.

This award availability gets you from SFO to Tokyo Narita in first class for 120,000 Aeroplan miles. The travel date is August 1, 2026, and taxes and fees come to just $80. Only one seat remains, so this is best suited for a solo traveler.

For context, first class redemptions on this transpacific route typically run around 200,000 Aeroplan miles. At 120,000 miles, you're saving 80,000 miles—a meaningful difference if you've been waiting for the right opportunity to try a premium cabin to Japan.

Keep in mind that August is peak travel season for Tokyo, which makes saver-level first class availability relatively uncommon. If your dates are flexible and you can travel alone, this is a solid use of your Aeroplan balance.

One practical note: Aeroplan miles transfer from American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One, and Chase Ultimate Rewards (in Canada). If you're short on miles, check whether a transfer makes sense before this seat disappears.
