This redemption comes in about 7% below the typical rate of around 110,000 miles you'd usually see for this route in business class. That's a savings of roughly 7,500 miles per ticket—not a blockbuster deal, but a solid option if Tokyo is already on your radar for next summer.

Only 3 seats are currently showing for the August 4, 2026 departure, which could work well for a small family or a couple traveling together. August falls during peak travel season to Japan, so finding any business class availability during this window is worth noting.

Keep in mind that Aeroplan allows stopovers on award tickets, so if you're flexible, you could potentially add a visit to another city on your itinerary without increasing the miles required. This is one of the more family-friendly features of the program for those planning a longer trip.

How to book

Search and book directly through Air Canada Aeroplan at aircanada.com. Act soon if you need multiple seats, as this availability could disappear quickly.
