I can redeem a one way flight from TXL-JFK on the way back in F for 69,000 Avois + $400 in fees, which I view as reasonable (British Airways). I can also redeem LHR to TXL one way for good prices (4,500/9,000 Avios in economy/business and minimal fees). The question is how to get from JFK-LHR reasonably. I can do economy for that flight. Maybe Aer Lingus or Icelandic?

Unfortunately I am seeing 0 award availibility (economy or business) from JFK or BOS to DUB/LHR on Aer Lingus in mid/latish June (checked Expert Flyer and Quantas).

Is this normal?

I could pay $740 for an Aer Lingus ticket across the pond, but then the trip starts getting decently expensive
