This redemption prices at 49,700 Aeroplan miles one-way in economy from LAX to SYD, with departure on November 7, 2026. Availability appears strong, so families looking to book multiple seats together should have a reasonable shot at finding what they need.
The rate here is about 1% below the typical ~50,000 miles Aeroplan usually charges for this route in economy. It's not a dramatic discount, but standard pricing with good availability on a popular long-haul route is still worth flagging—especially for those planning ahead for late 2026 travel.
Aeroplan can be a solid option for flights to Australia, particularly if you've accumulated points through Air Canada or one of their credit card partners. The $124 in taxes and fees is reasonable for a transpacific flight of this distance.
One practical tip: November falls during spring in Australia, making it a pleasant time to visit Sydney before the summer crowds arrive. If your schedule is flexible, check nearby dates as well since availability appears plentiful around this window.
