Even as someone with nearly unlimited flexibility, finding 88k Saver J on a real carrier (i.e. not Ethiopian) has been a challenge. I'm really only finding stuff close in (~3 days out or so)
The unfortunate reality [across all mileage programs] is that demand vastly exceeds available supply. I can't think of any mileage program where you can login today and easily find a Saver J award to a destination of your choice. It just doesn't exist.
