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.

    Near to home mattress run to get 60 nights with Hilton. Doubletree Glasgow lounge tonight having ludicrous amounts of gin and tonic before Edinburgh Carlton tomorrow. Off to Dusseldorf on Friday. 2 nights at the IC and 2 nights at the Hilton before back for Hogmanay.
    Best wishes for 2020. AlanC

    Happy Christmas everyone. Thank you HFP and everyone for all their advice and tips. We’ve just flown in from Hurghada on Squeezy Jet – crew were excellent. Only 2 weeks and we fly to S Africa with 2-4-1 thanks to AMEX/HFP info. Then onwards to Australia. Couldn’t do most of our travel without what I’ve learned through HFP, so thank you everyone 🙂

    Merry Christmas from sunny Manchester. We’re just back from 9 nights in Barbados – flights and hotel on points. Stayed at the Courtyard which we thought was perfectly decent for a cat 4. Reward flights are already booked for a Canada/Mexico honeymoon double header in summer 2020. Thanks to Rob and team and everyone below the line for your useful advice.

    Merry Christmas to you all. No travels this time of year, busy work and holiday schedule for the next 3 months.

    And a last hurrah for HFP from the rooftop bar of the Melia Iguazu, wine in hand watching sunset. Hotel infinitely better than our previous visit seven years ago when it was a very tired Sheraton. A definite recommend, especially as upgraded to a falls view room courtesy of melia gold via Amex plat
