I assume Sam wants to use the voucher to upgrade from WT+ to J, so SIN would be 91k no? And HKG/TYO/ICN/PVG/BKK/LIM/GRU/GIG/MRU would be 78k.

Did I miss any in the HKG band? Sam I wouldn't buy extra miles unless you really fancy something further. The HKG band would make the most of your voucher* but beyond that you'll have to give us a bit more of an idea what you'd like to do.

* but if you earn less than 80k avios a year and plan to get a voucher each year, shorter trips may be a better long term value.
