This redemption from Chicago O'Hare (ORD) to London Heathrow (LHR) is priced at 80,000 Aeroplan miles with just $80 in taxes and fees. The travel date is August 11, 2026, which falls during peak summer travel season when award availability to Europe is typically harder to find.
For context, business class awards on this route through Aeroplan usually run around 110,000 miles. At 80,000 miles, you're saving roughly 30,000 miles on a transatlantic flight in a lie-flat seat. That's a solid value, especially for August travel when families are often looking to squeeze in one last trip before school starts.
A word of caution: only 3 seats are currently showing as available. If you're traveling as a family of four, this particular award won't work unless you're comfortable splitting the group across cabins.
One practical tip for Aeroplan bookings: if you don't have enough miles in your account, the program allows you to top up with purchased miles or combine points from a travel partner. Check your balances before starting the booking process to avoid losing the seats while you sort out your points.
