I'm BAEC Blue, the voucher has plenty or life on it and the route is popular and from prior experience I know the Return can often be more difficult than the Outbound to secure.

Any hints or tips would be much appreciated. This is my first post so apologies if this has been answered elsewhere and I've missed it.

Thanks

BA American Express 2-4-1 Voucher Discussion

In particular, the wiki in this thread will give you some very specific (and helpful) options. Booking your return on-line, and then later phoning the call center to retroactively apply your voucher to the booking (and getting your avios refunded), is definitely worth exploring.
