This award seats one traveler in business class from LAX to NRT on August 9, 2026. At 102,500 miles, it comes in about 7% below the roughly 110,000 miles Aeroplan typically charges for this route and cabin. The taxes and fees add up to just $102, keeping the out-of-pocket cost reasonable.

August is peak season for Japan travel, so finding any business class availability is noteworthy. However, with only one seat showing, this won't work for families traveling together. Solo travelers or those willing to split bookings may find it useful.

Keep in mind that Aeroplan award pricing can fluctuate based on demand, so what you see today may shift. If you have the miles and the dates work, it's worth locking in sooner rather than later.
