This redemption prices at 85,000 Aeroplan miles for a one-way business class ticket from LAX to NRT, compared to the roughly 110,000 miles you'd typically expect to pay through the program. The departure date is August 6, 2026, which falls during peak summer travel season when award availability to Japan is often scarce.
At this rate, you're saving approximately 25,000 miles on a premium cabin flight to one of Asia's most popular destinations. The $80 in taxes and fees is also reasonable for a transpacific business class ticket.
One important caveat: only a single seat is currently showing as available. This makes the deal suitable for a solo traveler but not for families or couples hoping to fly together in business class on this specific itinerary.
If you're flexible on dates, it's worth searching nearby departures to see if additional availability exists at similar pricing. Aeroplan's search tool lets you view a calendar of award options without committing to a specific flight.
