Is there any particular disadvantage/drawbacks to this trip being ticketed as two one way itineraries?

Yes, two seperate booking references for Outbound/Inbound. YQ was indeed £209.80 per passenger for the return leg. I'm happy to take the slight hit on that for the convenience of being able to snag the tickets online and them follow up by phone when it suited.

Does anyone know how to see details of vouchers that have already been redeemed? The voucher disappears from its usual place on the 'my executive club' page when it's redeemed, but I seem to remember there is a 'secret' URL which will show details of redeemed vouchers.
I want to check the expiry date on a voucher before deciding whether to cancel a 2-4-1 booking.
Many thanks.

Or go into the top page of "Manage my account" and look for "My eVouchers" (which I can see even though I have no unused vouchers).

Hi - does the above from the Wiki still hold true? I just tried to cancel my BA Premium Plus card and the agent was adamant that it would be useless - I couldn't find anything in the T&C's and I'm keen to avoid another annual fee, just to be able to use the voucher I've accrued.
Thanks
Thanks

A week ago I completed a 2-4-1 booking changing from the one way to grab the return flights in J. The YQ etc. difference for the tickets has been taken on my CC (BA Amex naturally) but the avios for the return hasn't been deducted. The agent said he would do a 'manual adjustment'. Does anyone have any idea / experience how long these adjustments normally take to come through ?

I've been having a look recently at what reward flights are available early next year (Jan-March) in F to use my 2-4-1 voucher. Yesterday almost every single destination disappeared with availability of reward flights (none in North America and Middle East). Is this a glitch in the system or have BA sold out every single F reward flight over the course of 3 months in 24 hours? i thought the app on my phone was broken to start with so have uninstalled and installed it a couple of times but the same issues keep happening. I've checked on the website too, plenty of J availability but none in F.... any help/advice is greatly appreciated!

I have a gold upgrade for two and my partner has 2-4-1.
We are looking to book LHR-NYC F.
Can we use our vouchers at the same time?

First time AMEX holder here, So excuse the Newbie questions,
If I start in INV does that stop me from paying APD x 2 people but does cost me 8000 more avios as a result?
If I wanted to GUF2 the booking to F from J would I make the booking first with Amex voucher then call to apply the GUF2 or is the recommendation to call and do all at once? Can a return leg be added to a Guf2 & Amex booking or does it need to be all done at once?
Finally ( I promise
) If I was to book thes online would it be like doing 2 people on a redemption booking so it quotes twice the avios then I hit the add voucher button and it then deducts the 2nd avios off? as in I need to have enough avios for both to start with first?
