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.

Merry Christmas to Rob and Anita.
Thanks for all the great tips during the year, off again on 2-4-1 to JNB in 2017.
Relaxing in rural West Lothian with family this year, surprisingly mild.

merry Christmas/ Hanukah/seasons greetings to all.
Just driven to sunny old Leeds.
I have done a Moscow in club, palmax4 seats in club Europe.

Marrakech with expiring companion voucher(leaving kids with grand parents)
Vegas in June with companion voucher(8 of us got either 1st or club on BA within a 3 day period) during World series of poker so peak time.

Looking for another USA redemption later on in the year but need 4 seats and seems a bit tricky at the moment

Be Merry and stay safe.

Thanks for all the advice offered on here

Merry Christmas to Rob, Anika and all HfP posters.

Reading the articles and comments on this site has positively changed my perception of, and allowed me to benefit from, hotel and airline loyalty schemes – things which I used to shun.

Seasons Greetings from Hamilton Island in The Whitsunday Islands. To one and all, have a lovely Christmas.
Had some fantastic trips courtesy of information gleaned from HFP, long may it prosper.
Merry Christmas.

Happy Christmas to all!

Excellent Thai meal last night at Nadon Thai in Newcastle – recommended to anyone visting Tyneside

Presently in the lounge at the Newcastle Hampton – points and a very little cash – before starting our shift at Crisis for Christmas.

Thanks for all the tips which have resulted in me being able to acquire enough Starpoints for a five night stay in California next July on the occasion of my niece’s wedding. I have only been reading the site since late September (mentioned in Sunday Times Travel Magazine) and had no Starpoints at all at that time.
