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.

    Congratulations to you both.

    It’s a great site and I enjoy the daily emails, even though most don’t really apply to my circumstances.

    Well done!

    I would have thought, as a pretty major travel event, that BA too would have been a sponsor. China Southern left me bemused, but they did get me to Aus safely.
    Anyhow congratulations on what I hope is a successful evening for you. (Will your acceptance speech be televised/recorded ?) Don’t forget to thank you subscribers…..”without them, we wouldn’t be here tonight etc.”!

    Congrats, very well deserved. You guys help people save a ton of £££ and experience best ways to travel. I tend to travel more for pleasure than business these days but thanks to you, it’s no longer a hassle!

  • MacH says:

    Well deserved. HFP is Informative, educational, enjoyable if not a little addictive! Good luck!

  • Bryan says:
