Is it correct that a cancelled Avios booking (incl. 241 voucher)should contain two FTV codes?

Yes, they are the ticket numbers for each passenger in the original booking – they should tally with the numbers on your original e-ticket.
Confirmed as still working.

Hi all. I have a 2-4-1 expiring June. I intend to book a domestic flight and then take a voucher, then use it for LHR-DXB next winter.
Any idea what happens if later this year (ie beyond Aug) I want to change the DXB flight? At that point it can’t be converted back into a voucher (or can it as the voucher expiry would have been Sep 23) but can they do a change of dates or destination? Thanks.

They’ll do a change of dates, might cost a £35 pp amendment fee, though currently that is waived due to book with confidence.
Also, as long as book with confidence is around you can cancel for a FTV, but with travel opening up I can see BA pulling book with confidence soon.
Thanks. My DXB booking if I change it would likely be beyond book with confidence so was wondering what my options were from Sept onwards?

Then as above, £35 pp change fee, as it used to be.
Ok much appreciated
One nuance to add to this, if anyone can confirm.
We have 2 2-4-1 vouchers, which we’re hoping to use for a family of 4 to travel. I understand I need to call BA to book this. One voucher expires shortly, so we were hoping to use the above approach to extend it via a FTV. Can I do this online for say, me & my wife, then call BA to add the children via the other 2-4-1 or will I need to book all 4 via phone, then convert to FTVs then call again to rebook?
Thanks!
As I recall, you can book online with 2 FTVs IF they’re both yours. If they’re not, then you can’t use them for a family of 4 anyway.
It’s complicated as one of your vouchers is going to expire. You’d need to make a booking with it, then cancel for an FTV, then call BA to book the entire trip and hope your seats don’t disappear in the process!As I recall, you can book online with 2 FTVs IF they’re both yours.

I have done this now and received the FTV. It is 2 voucher codes. How do I know the 241 is there?

Those two codes are ticket numbers from the initial booking.
Keep the booking confirmation from that initial booking, it’s that whole ticket and everything in it that is frozen into the FTV. Cash, Avios, 241, the lot.
A quick question that I haven’t seen explicitly answered:
Say I make a dummy RFS booking using a 2-4-1 voucher, a small amount of Avios and 2 x £35 in taxes. I then cancel online to get a FTV voucher
If I then call BA to rebook to a different RFS destination then do I just pay the additional Avios for one passenger (as the 2-4-1 covers the additional Avios for the other passenger)? I believe there are no more taxes / change fees to pay – is that correct?A quick question that I haven’t seen explicitly answered:

Literally what happens is BA agent will work out cash and Avios cost of new flight, including taking into account your 241 if you have that in your FTV, deduct the Avios and Cash that already sits in your FTV, and either charge you the difference or refund the balance.

So, it’s actually more complicated than that. They couldn’t add in the second companion voucher to the FTV, something to do with the named voucher holder. You actually need to do the original booking using both 2-4-1 voucher for all 4 of the travelling party. Then change to FTV, then call BA to redeem the FTVs together. Thankfully, a very nice person on the BA customer service helped me through it all! BTW, was able to get through within about 10 minutes on silver line.
In fact, Northern Lass was correct in the first place and I misread. Should have booked all 4 seats with both vouchers online.
