This deal gets you from LAX to Heathrow in economy for 40,000 Aeroplan miles, compared to the roughly 50,000 miles you'd typically expect to pay. The $80 in taxes and fees is reasonable for a transatlantic flight, especially considering some programs tack on significantly higher surcharges for London routes.
Availability appears to be wide open for August 4, 2026, so families looking to book multiple seats together should have good options. August is peak summer travel season for transatlantic flights, which makes finding award space at a reduced rate more notable than usual.
One practical tip: Aeroplan miles transfer instantly from several major credit card programs, including American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Capital One. If you're short on miles, you can top up your balance quickly before booking.
