Splurge those Avios on once-in-a-lifetime breaks with British Airways Holidays, plus take your England Rugby viewing experience to new heights

Pay for your British Airways Holiday with Avios  
In a spell of good news for our Executive Club Members, you’re now able to spend those hard-earned Avios on package holidays with
British Airways Holidays. And that’s on any British Airways Holidays escape you’d like: from no-fuss trips to big city New York to stress-free adventures in the sunny Caribbean. Better yet, Avios can also be spent on your fly-drive holidays and on the kind of experiences that make a holiday that bit more special, such as tours of Park Güell in Barcelona (opening image) or scaling the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. To find out more about spending with Avios, click here.

Supporting the Turkey/Syria Earthquake Appeal with Avios
Together with our partner IAG Cargo and Khalsa Aid UK – a humanitarian aid organisation that supports people in crisis across the globe – last month we transported more than four tonnes of vital aid to Istanbul for distribution to the many communities that have been affected by the recent devastating earthquakes. To continue to support and aid the countries, all on-board donations are being redirected to the Turkey/Syria Earthquake Appeal, launched by the Disasters Emergency Committee or DEC.

As an Executive Club Member, you also have the option to donate to the fund using Avios. To find out more about how to donate, click here.

What’s on in lounge this month
Fancy a pre-flight sugar fix? This April, our lounges at Heathrow will be getting into the Easter spirit with help from not one, but two, luxury chocolate brands. First up, Swiss chocolatier Läderach, which will be on hand with fluffle of Easter Bunny chocolates for peckish lounge guests. Then, Easter-themed snacks come courtesy of Hu Kitchen, which champions fair trade and organic chocolate from ethical sources. See you there.
