If you're planning a family trip to London for late summer 2026, this is a reasonable opportunity to lock in flights at a modest discount. Aeroplan is pricing economy awards from LAX to LHR at 40,000 miles per person, with low taxes of just $80. Availability appears to be wide open for August 17, 2026, which is helpful if you're booking multiple seats.
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—not a blockbuster discount, but a solid 20% reduction that adds up quickly for a family of four.
Aeroplan is a transfer partner of American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One, and Chase Ultimate Rewards, so you have several options for topping off your balance if needed. Transfers from Amex and Capital One are typically instant, while Chase transfers may take a day or two.
One practical tip: August 17 falls near the end of summer break for many school districts, so if your schedule is flexible, check nearby dates as well. Availability may vary, but you might find similar pricing across multiple departure options.
