Just had an interesting call with BA, I want to add on a return Bangkok to London onto my London to Singapore ticket.
She said it would be 120,000 Avios whereas it's 90,000 on the website. something about it being peak, She said it would take a couple of days to go through so no points have been taken yet.
What should I do if they do take 120,000? Or am I seeing something wrong and it should of been 120,000 all the time.

What is the chance of getting an F redemption to Barbados? In winter?

If you're wanting to travel from London, then non existant for this year and not much doing for this time next year either ...

So, I have a lot to learn with regards to getting to most out of my first 2 for 1 voucher.... Also looks like we will be going, where BA wants us to go, when BA wants us to go and paying the full whack of taxes, charges and fuel extras.
Not looking as rosy as I had first thought.
I thought every flight had redemption seats?

I am quite new to this redemption lark myself but it strikes me that a tool like baredemptionfinder which can search for reward availability in F across a number of different destinations at the same time would be very helpful for those of us who aren't overly fussy where we go and want best bang for our buck.

If you can put up with travelling CW, then the availability for October next year is better.

No. The only guarantees that BA makes is that each flight will have 2 CW and 4 WT redemption seats available for it when the flight is released at T-355 days.
There is no guarantee that F / WTP will be released, or if they are when they will be released. It's worth spending some time in the stickies and dashboard as much of this stuff is documented there, and also learning how to use the various search tools such as baredemptionfinder and ExpertFlyer etc, especially if you are highly constrained on where, when and how you want to travel
PS - Such queries might be better in the "Spending Avios" thread as they are not specific to the 2-4-1 voucher

The baredemptionfinder site shows lots of dates in October 2019 in CW. No good for you?

If you are speaking of F availability, it is possible that they simply have not released any yet. They might in the future, they might not.
