I would love to use Avios to redeem to Aer Lingus J, but I can never find it available. EI Y is pretty easy to find, so I just live with that for the 6 to 7 hour flight.

The fees to redeem Avios on the other TATL options are a deal-breaker for me. At that point, I'd just rather look for a good deal on a paid J fare.
