Air Canada Aeroplan currently has economy award availability from Los Angeles (LAX) to Sydney (SYD) for 49,700 miles plus $132 in taxes. Travel is available on August 15, 2026, with multiple seats open—making this a reasonable option for families who need to book several tickets together.
This rate comes in at roughly 1% below the typical 50,000-mile pricing for this route in economy through Aeroplan. While the savings are minimal, the real value here is the availability itself. Finding multiple economy seats on the LAX-SYD route during the Northern Hemisphere summer can be tricky, so securing this now locks in your plans at a predictable rate.
Aeroplan is a transfer partner of American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Capital One, and Bilt Rewards, giving you several options to top off your balance if needed. Transfers from most programs are instant or near-instant.
One practical tip: August falls during Australia's winter, so pack layers and expect cooler temperatures in Sydney. It's also a less crowded time to visit, which can make for a more relaxed family trip.
