£1,750 indirect flights
+ positioning flights (£300 for the two of you?)
+ overnight hotel costs in Pisa if you want to be safe (£300 for there and back)
+ lost work time / holiday time because your journey is taking significantly longer

Personally I know which one I'd choose...
I partially agree with this but it is very subjective. I have no cost for positioning in Italy other than the avios+£35 (I am Italian and can be hosted) and time isn't an issue.

Hence, I was asking what are the routes which don't usually go on sale Ex-EU which I can use the voucher on.
