Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

TODAY ONLY: Win No1 Traveller lounge passes, including a free glass of champagne

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

Thanks to premium lounge operator No.1 Traveller, I am running a giveaway today which will last for just 18 hours.

Between now and midnight, you can win two Champagne Experience gift vouchers to any No.1 Traveller lounge in their collection as well as a free glass of champagne per person.

You can also skip the queues with complimentary security fast track which is available at all airports apart from Heathrow.

About No.1 Traveller

No.1 Traveller has lounges at Heathrow Terminal 3, Gatwick (both North and South Terminals), Birmingham and Edinburgh.  Note that the Stansted lounge has now closed.

I reviewed both the Gatwick North and Edinburgh No.1 Traveller lounges last year and was very impressed – the Gatwick North lounge is a substantial improvement on the British Airways lounge upstairs.

The winner will be able to take advantage of No.1’s bistro, tended bar, self-service pantry table, free wi-fi and selection of newspapers and magazines.

Here is a quick look at Gatwick South:

and Edinburgh:

They are genuinely impressive facilities and easily the best third party departure lounges in the UK. Even if you already have access to their lounges via Priority Pass or Lounge Club, it is worth entering for the additional champagne vouchers.

The competition will run for just 18 hours and closes at midnight tonight. I will draw a winner tomorrow morning – the winner will receive their Champagne Experience vouchers directly from No 1 Traveller within a couple of weeks.  If you are travelling imminently I will try to get them to you in time.

The competition is only open to UK residents. You must be over 18 years old.

How to enter

I am using the same automated entry software that I used for other recent competitions.

Because of the tight time scale you cannot earn any extra entries by tweeting. It is one entry per person and all you need to do is complete your email address in the form below.

Your details remain private – they will not be shared with No.1 Traveller and will not be used by Head for Points for any other purpose.

The rules

You can see the detailed rules by clicking on ‘Terms and Conditions’ in the entry widget. In summary:

You must be at least 18 years old

You must be a resident of the UK and have a UK postal address. If you are currently outside the UK you will not be able to enter – you will need to email the link to a friend who is in the country!

Entries are limited to one per household

The competition closes at midnight, London time, on Wednesday 25th February

If you cannot see the entry widget below, please click here and you will be directed to a special website to enter.

Good luck. The winner will be notified on Thursday.

    Done – thank you!

    When do these tickets have to be used by? Thank you.

    • Rob says:

      I am guessing 12 months and will make sure you get 12 months worth if you need it.

  • Gregor says:

    How long are the passes valid for?

    • Rob says:

      No idea! Let’s say 12 months – if they are shorter and you can’t use them I will persuade them to re-issue!

      I got that in testing. Log out and use another email. It is struggling with the change of format and the removal of the Twitter option!

        Oh plop. I used the Twitter option as thought that would somehow have my email address linked, couldn’t see how else to. Oh well, nevermind.
