It's these two restrictions that eliminate (as far as I can tell) companion voucher options through these ports as your onward travel would be on a separate ticket.
just to clarify that transit via SIN from U.K. to Sydney n AKL is still possible right now even though SIN Gov have banned transit.

However, it will be on a same plane journey.
On certain day, the plane from LHR to SIN will continue its journey to SYD. Those paxes going to SYD won’t be able to get down the plane at Changi. Same go for AKL.

So basically you will be sitting in the plane for around 24 hrs.
