2-4-1 voucher booking. Open Jaw on Iberia and BA and Stopover possibilities

It should be possible to combine BA and Iberia flights. Certainly online searches with a new style voucher present such options which implies that it is, although I think some people have reported errors at the payment stage when trying to book them online.

Avios redemptions are priced by ‘sector’, which means you will normally pay more for additional flights whether or not you are stopping over or simply connecting. That would not normally apply where a flight continues to a second destination and you continue on with it on the same day, but it almost certainly will if you stop and then continue to the ‘tag’ destination some days later.

Someone did this – either on LHR-NAS-GCM or LHR-NAS-PLS, can’t remember now. They had to book to NAS then separately onwards. However, these are short flights and not worth doing in business so you’d only be paying the economy avios/surcharges. You could absolutely “nest” a trip as part of your booking – so you could book outbound to St Lucia and inbound from Rio as this falls within the open jaw rules (unless my Geography is seriously off!) with a detour to Guyana booked separately.

**Depending on St-Lucia-Guyana being a similar operation to NAS-GCM, of course!

I am hoping to use an open jaw BA 2-4-1 companion voucher with Iberia from Madrid to Mexico City and returning from Cancún to London Heathrow on BA.

Is this allowed given my departing airport from Madrid isn’t the same as my return final destination to London Heathrow?

Yes, I booked a MAD-MIA on IB and MIA-LHR on BA.

How did you book this? Did you book the first leg on the Iberia website, and then call BA to add the second leg back to Heathrow?
