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, Anika is with her newly acquired relatives.

Head for Points is taking a two day break. We will be back on Thursday 27th with a review of my travel highlights and lowlights of 2018.

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 2018, including our (to be updated next month) ‘Avios Redemption University‘ series and all of our credit card reviews.

Thank you for your support over the past year.

      Merry Christmas to Rob and Family

      My son was able to greatly reduce the price of his first holiday thanks to the crazy Iberia points bonanza earlier this year, which would have passed me by if it wasn’t for this website.

      Thank you for all of your hard work – we don’t earn miles through work travel or anything, so this is genuinely life-changing stuff 😊

      All the best to you and yours

    Merry Christmas Rob, and to your family, the HfP team, and everyone reading this. Currently at the JW Marriott Phu Quoc courtesy of one of Marriott’s Travel Packages, acquired last year thanks in large part to the tips and advice on here – thank you! 🙂

    Since being recommended your website by a friend this year I have learned so much! I am off to NYC later this week for leisure and have just booked a dream trip to HK & Tokyo on a companion voucher in First for 2019. 2019/2020 will be my gap year so the points/avios I have earned this year especially through your tips on Amex will make my year of travel interesting and comfortable!
    Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and fabulous 2019!😊✈️🛫

    Merry Christmas from France where we travelled on RFS. Thank you HFP, my first nice achievement was a few weeks ago when I booked a RFS flight to Marrakech in business for our family of 4 with 2 Lloyds upgrade vouchers! We also had £400 Amex SS credits which came as an early xmas present

    Merry Christmas from Khao Yai, Thailand! Took a Cray routing to go through Istanbul, Amman, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur to make it to the region from London for a relative bargain of £250 over the peak Christmas Season!
