I then rang in today (at 11.30am, not 6am) and within 5 minutes they had linked the voucher to the return booking and half the Avios used have already been refunded to my account.

Incredibly straightforward, the agent knew exactly what she was doing and all sorted in 5 minutes. Far easier than calling an overseas call centre in the early hours!

So could you confirm - do you now continue to hold two separate booking references.

Presumably you paid about £209pp for the return and that hasn't been adjusted? If so you paid the ex-SCL YQ of £187pp instead of the ex-LON £175, but not too important a hit.
