The comp upgrades are valid for a one class, one sector upgrade. So AKL-LAX is one sector. So Y > Y+ (and Y+ > BP) on that flight is one comp upgrade voucher and Y > BP is two upgrade vouchers. AKL-LHR is two sectors, therefore you need two upgrade vouchers just to upgrade a AKL-LHR one way in a single class upgrade.

I was under the impression that only Gold Elites could gift upgrades?
