NEWS & OFFERS: New Collectable Club World Amenity Kits for LGW Flights, 5,000 Bonus Virgin Points via Tesco & a Heathrow Airport Parking AMEX Offer

British Airways Launches New Collectable Club World Amenity Kits for Gatwick Flights

British Airways has introduced a new series of collectable Club World amenity kits in partnership with anatomē (a London‑based apothecary), available exclusively on flights departing from Gatwick. These will temporarily replace the long-running White Company kits.

There are four designs to collect, and each includes artwork by one of four British artists commissioned by Rise Art, including Charlotte Roseberry, Amelia Coward, Kit Boyd and Naomi Edmondson:

If you’re a regular out of Gatwick and familiar with the usual BA White Company amenity kit, hopefully these limited edition kits will add a little fun to your trip! They may not be as luxurious as the amenity kits from Qatar and Emirates, but BA’s kits still include everything you need.

The contents are similar to the usual BA kits, but with a sustainable focus and anatomē products made specially for British Airways.

Inside, you’ll find:

• anatomē Hydrating Moisturiser with aloe vera and hyaluronic acid.
• anatomē Botanical Multi Balm with organic shea butter, rosemary oil and vitamin E.
• Paper-wrapped earplugs and a dental kit 
• A bamboo toothbrush
• A soft light-blocking eye mask
• Socks made from recycled polyester
• A 20% anatomē discount

Calum Laming, British Airways’ Chief Customer Officer, said:

“At British Airways we’re always looking to innovate for our customers, and, like our new global lounge concept and cabins, as well as our marketing campaigns and safety videos, we set out to signal a new direction, creating something bold and original, modern and unexpected that would surprise and delight our customers. We’re confident we’ve achieved that with this collaboration with outstanding homegrown British talent and wellness products by anatomē.

“The kits have been designed to be enjoyed during and after the flight. They’re ideal for reuse – whether as a travel pouch or an everyday carry-all. We’ve worked with anatomē to choose products that are both ultra-hydrating and relaxing, and we can’t wait to share them with our customers on board.”

It’s interesting that these are only being launched from Gatwick. Is this a test on a small number of passengers to gauge reactions? What do you think about these amenity kits? Have you received one yet? Let us know in the comments below

5,000 Bonus Virgin Points Offer in Partnership with Tesco Clubcard

Virgin Red and Tesco Clubcard have reintroduced the 5,000 bonus points offer when you sign up for automatic exchange of your Clubcard points into Virgin Points for the first time before 25th January 2026.

To get the bonus points, you’ll need to set up an auto-exchange to convert your Tesco Clubcard Points to Virgin Points every 3 months. You will not be eligible for the offer if you or anyone in your household account has previously benefited.

You’ll need to:

1. Log in to your Virgin Red account 
2. Sign in to your Clubcard account and select ‘Clubcard Management’
3. Select Virgin Points, and enter your Virgin Red ID.
4. Have at least 250 Clubcard points in your account by 25th January (so the conversion triggers the bonus).

You also have the option of transferring Tesco Clubcard Points to Virgin Points when you choose (although you won’t get the bonus). 1 Clubcard Point = 2 Virgin Points.

You should receive your bonus points by 22nd February.

Worth It?

The 5,000-point bonus has an average of £25 in value, which can be massively increased if you book Saver flights or great deals on other Virgin Atlantic Flights and Cruises. For example, a one-way Economy Reward Seat from London to New York, which starts from 6,000 Virgin Points one-way (plus taxes and fees), is much more valuable than £25. You can also get excellent premium cabin and cruise redemptions. For all the ways you can spend your points, read our guide to ‘How to Spend Virgin Points for Maximum Value‘.

A New Heathrow Airport Parking Offer for BA AMEX Cards

If you’re planning to park at Heathrow any time soon, there’s a new American Express offer worth adding to your card. You can now earn 5 Avios per £1 spent online with Official Heathrow Parking, up to a maximum of 2,500 Avios. The offer is valid for bookings made by 31st December 2025.

The offer seems to be available to selected BA Premium Plus and BA Amex cards. During previous offers, other AMEX cards have also been eligible (sometimes a slightly different offer). It’s worth checking if you have a different AMEX card.

You must remember to save the offer to your card to get the bonus. Only bookings via the Official Heathrow Parking website count, and you must pay via the same Amex card you saved the offer to. You’ll receive 5 Avios per £1 spent, capped at 2,500 Avios total. That means you’ll earn the full bonus with a £500 spend. 

You should be able to combine this offer with the 7 Avios per £1 spent ongoing offer via Avios.com. Save the Amex offer to your card, click through Avios.com, then pay with your Amex, and you should then get 12 Avios per £1. Add the Avios/Membership Rewards Points earned from paying via Amex, and you’ll add another 1-1.5 points per £1 spent – up to 13.5 Avios per £1.

Although most people won’t earn the maximum by spending £500, Avios really add up, so make sure you add this offer to your card if you’re planning to use Official Heathrow Parking. 

Things to Note

• Avios will appear on your AMEX card statement within 30 days of making the transaction.
• If Heathrow Airport Parking does not bill your card by 31st December, you may not be eligible for the offer.
• Cumulative spend does count, and you will continue earning until you’ve earned 2,500 bonus Avios.
