The Gurus: boost your Avios on Black Friday
With Black Friday approaching, why not do your sales shopping through Gate 365 and earn double Avios while you spend? We asked British Airways’ Campaign Project Manager, Alister Dell, to share his top picks of the online rails
Apple
For the ‘always-on’ traveller: Laptops are old news. For anyone on the go, the iPad Pro (from £549) is the niftiest bit of kit on the market. Available in two sizes, 12.9in or 9.7in (both of which are super lightweight), it’s ideal for work, play and everything in between – anywhere in the world.
For the fitness bunny: With built-in GPS, heart-rate sensor and water resistance to 50 metres, the Apple Watch Series 2 (from £369) promises to keep up with the busiest of people. It tracks the user’s fitness activities, helps them set goals and allows them to share achievements with the touch of a screen. Oh, and it also tells the time.
For the tech head: Who wouldn’t want to upgrade to the iPhone 7 (from £599)? Now boasting a better camera, longer battery life and brighter colour display (plus a host of other cool features), it’s the ultimate tech gift this Christmas.

For the daydreamer: Know someone who’s always planning their next trip? This charming A5 notebook (£12.75) can be personalised with any name, making it a thoughtful gift for that special adventurer.
For the jet-setter: This leather hanging washbag (£65) combines smart, functional design with stylish buffalo leather – and looks far more expensive than it is. The result is a long-lasting gift that he’ll take with him all over the world.
For the map lover: Choose two meaningful locations and Ellie Ellie will make up a pair of personalised map cufflinks (£25) using vintage maps.
John Lewis
For fragrance fans: Rose, jasmine and orchid are just a few of the compelling floral notes that make up Viktor & Rolf’s iconic Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum (from £45). The 30ml size is ideal for slipping into hand luggage.
For music lovers: The ultimate headphones for air travel (thanks to their noise-cancelling properties) the Bose QuietComfort QC35 headphones (£289.95) let the listener focus on their music, movies and videos. The wireless function makes them ideal for anyone on the move.
For cocktail connoisseurs: Give them a piece of the London dining scene to take home, with this striking Cocktail shaker (£20), inspired by British chef Jason Atherton’s Social restaurants.
