Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Black Friday: BA Holidays, Vueling, Hotels.com, Melia, Qatar, Lastminute.com, SWISS, Icelandair

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

Black Friday is always an odd day on Head for Points, especially this year when the appetite to sell is far greater than the appetite to buy.

We are bundling today’s Black Friday travel offers into two articles. You can see Black Friday offers that started last week in this article.

The British Airways ‘20% off all flights’ deal is covered in this article.

The Virgin Atlantic cash sale is covered here. The ‘50% off all redemption flights’ deal is covered here.

We may release another article during the day if anything spectacular appears which we were not told about in advance.

If you are reading this by email and the formatting looks a mess, apologies. You will need to pop over to the website.

  • Andrew says:

    The Qatar sale to include 2 Australian destinations amongst their handful of destinations is bizarre – apart from citizens and a few exceptions the country will remain closed for most of next year.

    • Andrew says:

      Surely that depends on their vaccination strategy?

      From the 1st February, they’ll probably be in a position to start welcoming immunised NHS staff.

      • Harry T says:

        I bloody well hope so, Andrew.

        • Andrew says:

          To clarify – this is two different Andrews – lockdown hasn’t got to me that much that I’m now debating with myself on a forum!

          • sayling says:

            Oh yes you are…

          • Harry T says:

            It’s all too much for me! Maybe the Andrew who enjoys designer shopping and the work canteen can change his name to Harrods Andrew or something?

          • Andrew says:

            @Harry T.

            No canteen for me at the moment, close contact isolation, so off work for a fortnight.

            It’s really upsetting. I found myself looking at photos of last year’s Thanksgiving canteen dinner as I was working my way through a “ping” dinner from Waitrose.

            Maybe I should start sending photos of canteen lunches to the HfP Twitter feed daily?

  • Neil McGinty says:

    The Swiss sale does not look very impressive when compared to the business class available to Asia for the last 3 weeks (not now), Amsterdam-Bangkok £860, Paris-Singapore £1050

  • A says:

    Where is Krawkow?

  • Geoff says:

    I’m not seeing any sign of the hotels.com discount when looking at potential replacement bookings for those I already have. Neither is the £15 discount valid and the list of excluded properties is pretty long.

  • luckyjim says:

    Good work pulling all this together Rhys. If Martin Lewis is recruiting…

  • Vit says:

    Would stay away from lm dot com only if I can get rid of their GC I bought earlier this year. 🙁

    Anyway, can definitely recommend trip dot com, used them first time for Air Asia and they were quick to response to query, proactive chasing our refund and with no any “admin” fees as well.

  • D.C. says:

    So as for the Hotels.com offer. The £15 discount code is available only if you click through from the HFP site and you do not then qualify for award points

  • RUBEN MENEZES says:

    OT – PCR test for entry into Spain over Christmas period.
    Does anyone have any recommendations for good reliable places (know it has to be private) in west London to book a test in December? There are lots when searching on the internet but wanted to hear it there are any particular ones to avoid and/or others that people highly recommend.

    We are planning to visit family back in Spain.

    Many thanks in advance.
