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 Anika and their families. Not away at Christmas – just celebrating quietly with daughter and elderly in laws in Dundee. Spent the past few days reading and researching our 2020 travels – aiming to go to Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest coast states. So many places to visit…. Merry Christmas to all on HfP who contribute with their tips and tricks and make this hobby fun! 🎄🍹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    Merry Christmas from Malaysia Airlines 1st in T4. Oz bound, so spending Christmas in the air on a throne (seat) 😂

    Hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and New Year! We’re at home in the chilly North but we had a great stay at the Manchester Hilton the other night, DBB for £115 and gold status got us a free upgrade to an executive room with 23rd floor lounge access. Then 6,200 HH points appeared in my account the next day, nice little Xmas bonus.

    Merry Christmas to all!
    And a huge thank you to Rob, Anika and everyone who contributes wit and wisdom to HfP.
    Enjoy the holidays and may 2019 bring us all many happy redemptions.

    Happy Holidays, Christmas and whatever else you may be celebrating . Thanks for all the help this year. Please do let me know if there’s any way of sending a contribution to HfP. It’s the least I can do. Best wishes.

      If you click through from the links on the site, HfP gets a small commission. That’s one way to pay your ‘subscription’. 😀

      Amazon commission link is at the bottom (mobile) or middle right (desktop) 🙂 Thanks

    Merry Christmas to the Head for Points team, another great year with so much information! Take care and all the best for the festive season

    Merry Christmas to one and all from Hong Kong! Off to Singapore for New Year then on to Phu Quoc.

    I also learnt the lesson of carrying different miles schemes is great but a little more preparation is needed as my SQ J seats were snapped before the Amex were transferred over. £250 for 4 hours in Y on Scoot is my reward!

      You win some, you lose some! I hope Hong Kong, Singapore and Phu Quoc more than make up for it! Have a fab time!
