For context, economy awards on this route through Aeroplan typically run around 50,000 miles. At 40,000 miles, you're saving 10,000 miles per ticket—meaningful savings if you're booking for a family of four.
Availability appears to be wide open right now, so you shouldn't have trouble finding seats. August is peak summer travel season for families heading to Europe, which makes this pricing even more useful for those planning around school schedules.
One practical tip: Aeroplan miles transfer from American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One, and Chase Ultimate Rewards (via Marriott Bonvoy), so check your balances across programs before booking. Transfers from Amex and Capital One are typically instant.
