If you're planning a family trip to London next summer, this is a reasonable time to book. Aeroplan is offering economy awards from Los Angeles (LAX) to London Heathrow (LHR) for 40,000 miles per person, plus approximately $80 in taxes and fees. Availability appears wide open for August 5, 2026, which is convenient for families working around school schedules.
This rate sits comfortably below the typical pricing for this route. Economy awards on LAX-LHR through Aeroplan usually run around 50,000 miles, so you're looking at a savings of 10,000 miles per ticket. For a family of four, that adds up to 40,000 miles back in your pocket for a future trip.
One practical note: Aeroplan's low taxes on transatlantic awards make this especially appealing. Unlike British Airways Avios, which can tack on hundreds in carrier surcharges to London, Aeroplan keeps the cash outlay minimal at around $80 per person.
If your dates are flexible, it's worth searching a few days in either direction to confirm this pricing holds. Award availability to Europe in peak summer can shift quickly, so if the dates work for your family, don't sit on it too long.
