This award opens up transatlantic business class from Chicago O'Hare to London Heathrow on August 10, 2026. At 80,000 Aeroplan miles with just $80 in taxes and fees, it's a solid option for families or couples planning a summer trip to the UK.
For context, this route typically prices at around 110,000 Aeroplan miles in business class. The 30,000-mile savings here is meaningful, especially if you're booking for two travelers. The low tax amount is also notable—transatlantic business class awards can sometimes carry hundreds of dollars in surcharges depending on the carrier.
Availability is limited to just 2 seats, so this works best for a couple or a parent traveling with one child. If you're looking to book for a larger family, you'll likely need to search for additional dates or consider splitting the group across cabins.
One practical tip: Aeroplan allows you to hold award bookings for a short period before ticketing. If you're not completely certain about your travel dates, this gives you a bit of breathing room to confirm plans before committing your miles.
