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

    Merry Xmas to Rob and the team and thanks for sharing your insights which have helped us make our travel plans. Currently in our Covid Lounge at home (good to get it out of the way before we travel). Off in early Jan to KUL, then island hopping down the west coast – Penang, Langkawi, Phuket, BKK and back home using our 241 on Malaysian.

    Merry Christmas to all. Just reserved seats for NCL-LHR on 1st Jan using RJ status. Need to book LHR-SIN later today for our Singapore/Vietnam/Cambodia trip. Reward flights in CW 🙂
    Can’t wait.
    Thanks to this site for all help getting us our 5th trip in CW over the years. Only paying Economy prices for CW makes all our holidays start on a high.

    Merry Christmas to the HfP team. Just realised it has been exactly 10 yrs since I discovered this site. Still enjoying the 3 daily articles. Got Vancouver/Alaska and a separate New York trip booked this year on points and India and Japan booked as tours. A bumper year of travel coming up for us.

    Sitting on the deck in Naples Florida. Just booked outbound to MIA for next December.
