Applicability of Avios Upgrade Voucher to flights with stopover

[redhanded]

Apologies if this has been asked before, I took a quick skim through the forum but couldn’t see it.

I’d like to know applicability of Avios Upgrade voucher to the following itinerary.

– LHR to SIN
– 1 night stopover in Singapore
– SIN to SYD
– a couple of weeks in Australia
– SYD to SIN
– 1 night stopover in Singapore
– SIN to LHR

Would I only be able to apply the upgrade voucher to a return from LHR to SIN? That is, the stopover means the outbound and inbound legs are 2 different flights?

Are you aware of AVIOS multi partner chart (if able to use different airlines)

I think the overall AVIOS cost will be lower (even without using the vouchers)

Thanks, however I believe the upgrade voucher can only be used with BA, not partner airlines.

Because of the stopover inbound and outbound, I think the itinerary I posted would be considered as 4 flights, so the upgrade voucher could only be used on 2 of them, but I just wanted to confirm.

Yes, unfortunately cannot use upgrade voucher on those ones

Total distance for those 4 flights is 18,548 miles

This would be priced at 100,000 AVIOS + taxes, fees and carrier charges (economy) or 200,000 AVIOS if all in business

Previously, BA have been known to price the whole booking on the longest segment, so if you did one segment (LHR-SIN) in economy and the rest in business, it may still be 100,000 AVIOS total. They also sometimes do not allow you to go to the same airport twice (so for example, on your return segment may need to swap to KUL)

How does that compare with what it would cost using the upgrade voucher?

The terms do allow the voucher to be used for multiple sectors without any exclusions for stopovers or that any sector needs to be domestic, so it ought to be possible.
