Happy Christmas! Head for Points returns on Tuesday

Happy Christmas to you and your family. I hope you enjoy a well deserved break, wherever in the world you are.

Do please post below if your travels have taken you anywhere exciting this Christmas. I am in London with the in-laws! Anika is in Hamburg with her family.

Head for Points is taking a two day break. We will be back on Tuesday 27th with a review of my travel highlights and lowlights of 2016.

If you want something to read in the meantime, take a look under the ‘Favourite Articles‘ tab where you will find my pick of the most relevant pieces published in 2016, including our ‘Avios Redemption University‘ series and all of our credit card reviews.

If you collect Avios via Tesco Clubcard, you may also want to take a look at the recent articles over at our sister site Shopper Points.

Thank you for your support over the past year.

And festive greetings from us at the rellies in Cambridge!

Not that exciting but the hotel was paid for with hotel.com free nights so the spa and gym can be counted as an HfP bonus.

O/T And an extra special Merry Xmas from Paris.

Not me, but from….

IGGY – lower right of Eiffel tower base, easy to spot.

Its 2 free nights at any IHG of your choice, presumably it gives you a hotel local to your home country.

Tip: Visit IHG.COM, search for a 2 night stay at InterContinental London Park Lane and check the rate.

I found the Park Lane at 60k/night hence 120000.

Merry Xmas! 🙂

Merry Christmas Rob and Anika and thanks for all the help and advice! I am enjoying having a top of the range Audi A5 on hire from Hertz over Christmas having paid for a Ford Focus, due to getting Top Tier Hertz status via the Accor hotel status match earlier in the year…had never even hired a car from Hertz before yesterday!

Ah! Christmas Day… An opportunity to read my travel documents from Different Snow who have organised ground arrangements for our first ski trip to Japan – made possible by HFP tip off for the Qatar sale. (And this trip should help secure another year of Silver following a Hawaii trip earlier this year to, in part, acquire our first ‘proper’ BA status!)
And anyone thinking of OZ/NZ with Air China – GO! We’re recently back from an amazing trip to both courtesy of another fab tip for an Etihad sale. So tempting to book another trip……. Santa…?
Happy Christmas everyone!

Happy Christmas Head for Points, and thank you for all your tips and advice throughout the year!

Will be zipping over to the USA tomorrow, with a points upgrade to business (courtesy of the avios accrued this year) and BA Silver!
