Is it worth the time to try and minimize YQ or should I just accept it and find the flights that are the most convenient?
It depends? on how much you value $ vs. convenience/time
Personally I'd always try for no-YQ options first
then some YQ
then worst case all-YQ airlines (but if that's the case I'd just buy the flight instead of redeeming)
