Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Important dates for your diary – offers about to close which you shouldn’t miss (Aug 2022)

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

The aim of this feature is to summarise flight, hotel and points offers that are ending soon.  Everything listed below has been covered on HfP in recent weeks, but years of experience of running offers for HfP readers has made it very clear that a large proportion like to leave things to the last minute ….

It pulls together the different deals mentioned in our daily articles and on our Top Avios Points Earning Offers, Top Hotel Bonus Points Offers and Top UK Credit Card Offers pages.

    Quick one for all you knowledgeable folk here. We had airmiles tickets from MCO to LGW tomorrow and we have a 4 year old and a 8 year old in business class where the children are not seated next to the parents in the same row and actually the 4 year old is 3 rows away from a parent. I will pay for future to guarantee this does not happen but I thought this is not possible for children under 12 where the will be seated with one adult eg 2 children one adult 1 child. Should I continue stressing or will this be corrected by ground staff at airport? Thanks in advance all!
