You could research Iberia, FinnAir, etc, but this probably won't help much since neither serves JAX.

Do you have any interest in South America or Hawaii?

I did research Iberia and Finnair from orlando but too many stops and cost 60,000 instead of 50,000 to places I'd like to go less. I'm assuming I couldn't fly Aer Lingus across the Atlantic either?

I think I will look into South America a little further (I've been to Hawaii and I'd rather see someplace new for such a long flight)--the SA availability is pretty spotty but maybe... Thanks for the tip.
