Neither Expert Flyer nor Qantas shows EI availability for BAEC members. You must call the BAEC Service Center to check that availability.

Is there no availability on AB, JFK-TXL-JFK? If there is, redeem on AB in both directions (with no surcharges), and then use RFS redemptions to get to and from London. (For getting to London, you could also look for JFK-DUS on AB, and then DUS-STN on AB, or DUS-LHR as an RFS redemption on BA.)
Just called, they aren't shoing any Aer Lingus availibilty from JFK-LHR on my requested dates (though maybe I should have asked just for JFK-DUB). I didn't see any Air Berlin redemptions either.

Assuming my heart is set on this trip, the best method may be to book an economy flight over with one of the low cost carriers (Aer, Icelandic, Air Berlin).
