This award seats two passengers in business class from LAX to NRT on August 10, 2026. At 102,500 miles per person plus $101 in taxes and fees, it comes in about 7% below the typical rate of around 110,000 miles you'd normally see for this route and cabin through Aeroplan.
The savings aren't dramatic, but finding any business class availability to Japan during peak summer travel season is notable. August is one of the busiest months for transpacific travel, and award space tends to disappear quickly.
A key consideration here: only two seats are currently showing as available. For a family of four, you'd need to get creative with split bookings or look at alternative dates. For couples or two travelers, this could be a straightforward booking.
If you're working toward this redemption, remember that Aeroplan miles can be earned through Air Canada's co-branded credit cards, transfers from American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One, and Chase Ultimate Rewards, giving you several ways to top off your balance if needed.
