If you're planning a family trip to London for summer 2026, this is a reasonable time to book. Aeroplan is pricing economy awards from Los Angeles (LAX) to London Heathrow (LHR) at 40,000 miles per person, with just $80 in taxes and fees. August 11, 2026 is showing plenty of availability, which is helpful if you're booking for a group.
The typical rate for this route through Aeroplan runs around 50,000 miles in economy, so you're saving roughly 10,000 miles per ticket here. For a family of four, that adds up to 40,000 miles back in your pocket for future trips.
Aeroplan can be a good program for transatlantic awards because it partners with Air Canada and several Star Alliance carriers. The low taxes on this routing are also notable—flights into London can sometimes carry much higher surcharges depending on the operating airline.
One practical tip: Aeroplan miles transfer from American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One, and Chase Ultimate Rewards (in Canada), so check your balances across programs before booking. Transfers from Amex and Capital One are typically instant.
