It doesn’t have to be either/or. Potential routes include MAN-LHR-BGI using the BAPP 241, then inbound BGI-MAN in UC using the Virgin upgrade voucher for 2 (still a decent saving on cash fares). Then a separate trip, MAN-LHR-GCM outbound using the Barclays upgrade voucher for 2, inbound GCM-LHR-MAN using the other half of the BAPP 241. I’d be very happy with this usage or similar out of these vouchers as these are expensive cash routes.
