Had some personal spending to do this year so stuck it on a BA Amex and now have 200k avios and a comp voucher.

We can go anywhere and anytime (work for ourselves) - we aren't fussed about where and we travel a lot each year anyway for fun so no where is really on our "must do" list as we just rattle through places anyway.......so, whats the best way to use this "perk"?

Did a random check on a flight to Singapore in business and it was still £4k on top.....not the bargain I was hoping for! We never fly business normally as (despite being 6ft6) I've always found an exit seat and going to sleep (which I can do on demand before take off!) means I don't care where I'm sat (unless we can get bumped for a real bargain) - but she'd like to travel business for the fun of it.

Any suggestions on routes that are bargains to use this voucher/points on?

london - Singapore is around 400k avios (plus £1k) so no good. Only JFk seems to fall inside the 200k points and thats biz not first.

ok - so in simple terms....I look through the list of places and the points needed in the links above. Find somewhere that is roughly 100k each way for first (so 200k return + my free ticket) and, if it sounds a cool place. Go there whenever they have a free flight (assuming its not way out of season for that part of the world)
