January 2025

Welcome to the Big Avios Night In

Make the most of those cosy January evenings in and collect Avios from the comfort of your sofa. Whether you’re ordering a Friday night takeaway, snuggling up under an electric blanket, enjoying a family movie session or planning your big tropical escape for 2025, when you spend via shopping.ba.com you can kick back and let the rewards come to you…

Fire up some hygge

On long, chilly nights, the flickering light of a candle can work wonders to evoke a cosy mood – just ask the Scandinavians, who light them en masse each winter. Whether you plump for Diptyque’s Ambre (£56 for 190g), evoking precious woods and sweet tonka bean, or Byredo Woods Candle (£70 for 240g), inspired by the scent of lush pine forests, you’ll find a flame that suits your particular brand of hygge – and collect up to 9 Avios per £1 spent – when you purchase from Space NK via our shopping portal.

Plan your 2025 jet-setting

Bangkok? California? Cape Town? Whichever sun-soaked destination you might be dreaming of this year, get ahead on the planning, collecting Avios while you’re at it, and book that balmy break now. While everyone else is feeling dreary on Blue Monday, you’ll be basking in the warm glow of anticipation of your trip to Dubai, Cancún or the Maldives. As an Executive Club Member, you’ll stash away 1 bonus Avios for every £1 you spend on flight + hotel and flight + car holiday packages when you let British Airways Holidays do all the work for you. So, what are you waiting for?

Why book with British Airways Holidays

Indulge in a takeaway

Don’t feel guilty if you don’t feel like cooking because when you order your favourite takeaway you can also be collecting Avios. Choose any of your preferred bites from Just Eat via our shopping portal and that comforting delivery margarita pizza, vegan burrito or prawn-topped pad Thai will bring you one step closer to a trip away at a tasty from 1 Avios per £1 spent. (Deliveroo comes in at up to 7 Avios per £1 spent). Why not get in the mood by ordering a dish from your next destination – a sushi platter ahead of your holiday to Tokyo, perhaps?

Crack open a special bottle

Forget Dry January – just raise your boozy standards, instead. This year, pop corks on some quality bottles from The Wine Flyer and, as well as a tasty tipple, you’ll collect at least 5 Avios per £1 spent when you purchase through shopping.ba.com or direct via the Wine Flyer website. Pick up pre-mixed cases and you don’t even have to do the thinking. For example, the Luxury Red Selection (£118.99) contains winter warming wines from around the world, so you can take your palate on a virtual taste trip from Italy to Australia.

Up your movie night ante

Don’t schlep through the rain to a theatre when you can have the big screen experience at home. Invest in a film projector for your movie nights in and you’ll be relaxing in your own cosy environs with bottomless popcorn, no one kicking your seat and the power to hit pause whenever required. Currys has a top selection – including the Acer 4K Ultra HD (£699) to the Philips NeoPix 130 (£159.99) – and you’ll collect blockbuster rewards of up to 3 Avios on every £1 spent.

Cosy up under a heated blanket

Warm up chilled bones under a plush heated throw, complete with detachable controls, six heating settings and a nine-hour timer. Whether you enjoy it with a good book on the sofa or in bed when drifting off to la-la-land doesn’t matter; just be sure to buy your Home Grey Heated Throw (£33) from Argos via our shopping portal, so you can collect from 1 Avios per £2 to put towards your next getaway. Or be the warmest superhero yet with a heated cape (£79) from M&S, offering up to 2 Avios per £1 spent.

Plan a family games night

Sometimes an analogue winter night in with the family can’t be beaten, especially when there’s an exciting new board game to get stuck into. John Lewis & Partners has an extensive range to suit every household, whether you fancy classic Mousetrap (£27), Scrabble Retro Edition (£55) or a luxury bronze version of Skyline Chess (£1,500) – featuring London’s most iconic buildings, from the Elizabeth Tower to The Shard. Collect up to 1 Avios per £1 spent.
