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.
I don't know what, if any, fuel surcharges are imposed by BA on an Aer Lingus TATL redemption, but I do not see why you could not redeem BAEC miles for an award ticket on Aer Lingus from MCO. I believe that you would have to call the BAEC customer service line to redeem on Aer Lingus, however.
