What can you win in the party raffle?

All attendees will receive one ticket to the party raffle on arrival, which will be drawn at 8pm.

Our star prize:

Two business class flights to Australia, courtesy of Malaysia Airlines

We have given away some spectacular star prizes in our party raffles over the years, but this year we have managed to raise the bar even higher.

Malaysia Airlines has generously donated the fantastic headline prize. The winner will receive:

  • two return Business Class flights to an Australian destination of your choice via Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia Airlines flies to multiple destinations in Australia including Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and, starting from November, Brisbane.

The winner will be able to arrange their flights to build in time in Kuala Lumpur if they wish and open jaw flights are also an option. There are some blackout dates, but they aren’t extensive. We do need to point out that the winner will not earn Enrich miles from their flights.

Malaysia Airlines is flying its new A330neo aircraft on some of these routes so you may be able to try Malaysia’s brand new business class seat (image below). And, of course, any flight will feature Malaysia Airlines’ excellent service and warm Malaysian hospitality.

As a member of the oneworld alliance, you can earn Avios and British Airways Club tier points when you fly with them, as well as redeem Avios on their flights.

For our runners-up ….

We also have some excellent runners-up prizes to be won (prizes do not include travel or any other costs).

These include (and at least one more big one will be added before Thursday night):

  • 20,000 World of Hyatt points, which we’d value at £250+, generously donated by World of Hyatt
  • One year of Platinum status in Flying Blue, giving you elite benefits across the SkyTeam alliance, generously donated by Flying Blue
  • 2 tickets to the ALL Terrace at OVO Arena Wembley for Busted vs McFly with an overnight stay at ibis London Wembley on 19th September, generously donated by Accor
  • 2 Summer Garden tickets to Noah Kahan at American Express presents BST Hyde Park, generously donated by American Express
  • A 12-bottle case of wine, generously donated by Virgin Wines
  • 2 prizes of 5,000 Heathrow Rewards points, generously donated by Heathrow Rewards
  • A seven day car rental from any Avis location in the world, generously donated by Avis
  • 2 tickets to see Alanis Morrissette from the amazing The NinetyThird lounge at The O2 on 27th July, including £100 per person to spend on food and drink
  • 2 tickets to see Peter Kay from the amazing The NinetyThird lounge at The O2 on 26th July, including £100 per person to spend on food and drink
  • a standard return on LeShuttle generously donated by LeShuttle to mark the launch of Club LeShuttle and its Avios partnership

Thank you to all of our prize sponsors, especially Malaysia Airlines – this is the biggest prize we have ever offered at a Head for Points party.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday night!

    British Airways Club representatives noticeable by their absence. Obviously didn’t fancy getting a good shoeing!!!

    • Lars VG says:

      Is BA Club completely separate to IAG Loyalty?

    • Barrel for Scraping says:

      Don’t think BA ever goes to these, so this year when everyone is pissed off with them I’d doubt they’d start.

      • Rob says:

        BA is many different beasts – and of course everyone is working in Waterside so it’s a huge detour to get there. IAGL is in Victoria. Same reason there is no VS (Crawley) but lots of Red / Virgin Group (Soho).

    • Can says:

      That’s hilarious

    • AJA says:

      But there is someone from IAG Loyalty to listen to feedback on the new BAC and Iberia Club changes.:-)

      American Express is noticeably absent too.

      • Rob says:

        It’s Amex’s own event on the same night, otherwise they would be out in force.

      • AJA says:

        Which makes no difference to me as I won’t be there. To those who are going enjoy the evening, looks like the weather will be great too so that outdoor space may be utilised.

  • Templegrafton says:

    My thoughts exactly!

  • inman says:

    Korean Airlines? I thought they are called Korean Air.

  • Jovan says:

    Never heard what happened with a waitlist?
    If anyone has a spare ticket, please let me know (jovanuk at gmail) – thanks!

    • Rob says:

      As you can see from the list above, companies snapped up the trade allocation – in fact we had people we don’t know getting in touch and wanting to come – so there won’t be a release from the trade allocation to the waitlist unfortunately.

  • YC says:

    Let me know if anyone has a spare ticket too!

  • Mark says:

    Great guest list and some lovely prizes.

    The quality really does convey how well respected the Rob and the rest of the team at head for points are regarded in the industry.

    Gutted I can’t make this one.

    Keep up the great work

  • camille55 says:

    On the off-chance anyone had a spare or last minute unusable ticket, a DM on flyertalk would be much appreciated!

  • Liz says:

    Can someone ask the Heathrow Rewards team when are they going to fix the problem with the expiry date not resetting after you make a purchase. Both mine and my hubbys accounts didnt reset after our purchases in Feb. Someone managed to reset my account by adding 100 pts but I am still battling this issue for my hubbys account!
