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, Rhys is in Canterbury, Sinead is in New York and Anika is spending Christmas in the US with her 6-week old daughter.

There is still some new content today, as we kick off a series of 12 articles covering the winners of the first Head for Points Travel & Loyalty Awards.  There will be another winner announced on Boxing Day, before full coverage returns as usual on the 27th.

If you want something to read in the meantime, take a look at our ‘Avios Redemption University‘ series and all of our flight, UK lounge and credit card reviews.

Thank you for your support over the past year.

    Happy Christmas from Kyoto, Japan. We used our avios and companion voucher to fly Club World to Tokyo and travel around Japan for 2 weeks; we have our next points and companion voucher trip to Montreal for our honeymoon in July next year. The advice on this website has been invaluable and everything we’ve learned from here has enabled us to have some amazing travel experiences (our favourite being the hotels.com 10 nights = 1 night free scheme).

    Thank you, Rob and the HFP team!

    Merry Christmas to everyone!

    After 15 years of Christmas holidays in different locations around the world with extended family, this year I’m stuck in London because the family couldn’t agree on a location for the celebration, with lots of last minute ifs and buts…

    Enjoying my solitude, the peace and quiet is good. 😊

    Merry Christmas to all from North Bucks. Big trip coming up in April to Japan in 1st return on a 241. If I have to turn 60 at least I can do it in style.

    Merry Christmas from El Zonte in El Salvador. Got here via a 2-4-1 to Houston in F. Couldn’t have done it without following HfP for the past few years. Thanks Rob for all the good advice.

    Happy Christmas from Buenos Aires. Sat in the aeroparque waiting for our flight to Iguazu.
    Amex 241 booked both ways at midnight and domestic flights courtesy of the £200 off Amex offer at the start of the year. Meliá iguazzu on points bought in last years Amazon deal, amazing deal given the reassuringly expensive rates for cash!
    Cheers Rob,Rhys, Sinead and Anika

    Driving to Saint Augustine, FL. Got upgraded to PE on AA and kids sat in the cockpit when landed at MIA. One bag delayed at CDG, but not a big deal as it’s Christmas! Have a good one wherever you are!
