This award availability is for travel on August 9, 2026, departing from LAX and arriving at Tokyo Narita. At 100,000 Aeroplan miles, you're looking at a modest but meaningful savings compared to the roughly 110,000 miles this route typically commands in business class.
The low taxes of just $80 make this a clean redemption without the carrier surcharges that can plague some international business class awards. For families planning a summer trip to Japan, this could be a good option to lock in while availability lasts.
Only 4 seats are currently showing, so if you're traveling as a family or want to book multiple passengers, you'll want to move quickly. August is peak season for Japan travel, and business class availability for summer 2026 will likely become harder to find as the date approaches.
One practical tip: If you don't have enough Aeroplan miles on hand, remember that the program partners with American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One, and Chase Ultimate Rewards for transfers. Chase and Amex transfer at a 1:1 ratio, making it straightforward to top up your balance if needed.
