I’m pleased to announce that Head for Points has been shortlisted for four gongs at the Business Travel Journalism Awards.

These are the main annual UK awards for business travel writing, organised by Carlson Wagonlit Travel.  Sponsors this year include Lufthansa Group, Thistle / Guoman Hotels, Air Canada, United Airlines, Travelport, China Southern Airlines and Avis Budget.

The four awards we are shortlisted for are:

Business Travel Editor of the Year (Rob)

Best Newcomer to Business Travel or Meetings and Events Journalism (Anika)

Best Digital Strategy

Scoop of the Year (Rob, for this British Airways story)

The winners will be announced at a dinner at the Natural History Museum on 5th October.

Win or lose, we are very happy to have been shortlisted.  It is a good way to end a 12-month period which has seen us move into a proper office and break 1 million monthly page views on a regular basis.

We are pleased that the panel of judges has been able to see that, behind the informal ‘first person’ format of Head for Points, we do – on a good day – put out articles which are on a par with traditional print business travel journalism.

    Been a long time subscriber (although don’t live in the UK anymore) and very pleased to see your success recognised. Have “unsubscribed” from many other sites because of the constant pushing / selling of credit cards and the sensational headlines. You’ve not succumbed to that (hopefully wont) and importantly, maintain a very balanced review regardless of whether you are being compensated by the airline / hotel. Keep it up. Don’t lose this focus.

    Congratulations Rob and Anika! 🙂

  • Angry Minion says:

    Very well deserved, well done both!

    Well done both, much deserved.

    Thanks to your help (and the advice of the community) I’m pleased to say that our HH account has gone from 20k at the start of the year to 125k now! You’ve helped me make this my new favourite hobby!

  • Tuck Goh says:

    Many congratulations to both you! Have a successful night.

    For me the personal blog style is why I keep coming back. I don’t want to get my travel news from a magazine full of advertorials that is out of date before it is even published. I want it immediately and from someone who is always upfront on what is a “paid” piece and what is just opinion.

    Keep up the good work.
