Happy Christmas to you and your family from all of the team here at HfP.

Thank you for your support over the past year. We managed to grow page views again – up 12% on 2023 to 32 million, on top of 12% in 2022 – which means we’ve grown every year, even during the pandemic, since the site launched in 2012.

Happy Christmas from the Head for Points team

Please feel free to share your Christmas travel plans in the comments. Obviously Rhys wasn’t going to be sticking around, and despite being in Los Angeles ten days ago is now back across the Atlantic in Toronto. Sinead is in the UK having the first Christmas with her new son. Katie is here but disappearing off to Spain for New Year and Conny and I will be off to the Middle East.

We will slowly get back into things tomorrow as Rhys and I look back over our year in travel. Anyone waiting with bated breath for the next part of Barry’s SkyTeam odyssey will need to wait until Saturday – but be assured that he did (eventually) make it home for Christmas!

With our best wishes,

Rob, Rhys, Sinead, Katie and Conny

    Happy Christmas to all of you. Head for Points is part of my morning ritual and I love it. I am hoping for many more years to come.

    Merry Christmas to all the HFP team and thank you for all the travel tips in 2024. We are in Costa Rica. Brilliant crew from BA in CW on way here from LGW and looking forward to comparing with Iberia on way home (all booked using Avios and 2-4-1 voucher of course) ! Best Wishes

    All the best and wish the season’s greetings to you at HfP and the wider readership. Thanks for your continued studious journalism bringing us all the nookies and crannies in this travel game. I’ve just arrived in Tampa, from LHR via Virgin Atlantic, though disappointed they again done a no-notice plane change away from the A330 neo. Hoping for better luck on the return journey…

    Meet Christmas guys. I read you guys everyday and it’s part of my morning ritual.

    I’m currently in saudi with my partner in the middle of the desert in Al Ula at this fabulous property called Habitas. It’s so unreal and spectacular. Feels crazy being here during Christmas.

    Hey, 6 of us managed to grab Club to Mexico City together, here now, dancing the Salsa Christmas Eve, then to Costa Rica, then back via Miami, A380. All Club using companion tickets, not bad for peak travel! Next year, we’ll try for first class, but I think impossible, what do you think?

      Unlikely but not impossible – I got F back from North America a few years ago a few days after New Year. Good luck!

      • Cat says:

        Merry Xmas @Memesweeper!

        I agree – tricky, but not impossible. I’ve managed a few F redemptions over the years, and all in the school holidays.

        Gosh, you mananged this for 6 did you?

  • Kev says:

    Seasons Greetings to Rob & Team. Great to read these messages each and everyday and also to be at home with some of our family at this special time of year.

  • JoeCrystal says:
