As the year comes to a close, I thought it would be interesting for readers to share their favourite travel memories of 2019.

Whether it was plotting a genius points/miles redemption; finally visiting your dream destination; meeting old friends (or making new ones) in exotic places; or simply a quiet moment taking in a beautiful view – let us know in the comments what your travel highlights were this year!

Thanks largely to points and miles, I have been lucky enough to experience some remarkable trips again this year – often enjoying a level of luxury when flying that I would scarcely have believed possible 10 years ago.  As much as I enjoy the luxury side of things though (and I’m not going to pretend for a second that I don’t!), most of my travels ultimately revolve around friends and family.

In fact, I think my favourite trip was probably taking my nephew to New York for the first time (at Halloween!). Flights were Norwegian Economy and the hotel was a Moxy – and both were actually great, but that’s not the point.

The giddy excitement of a kid running around Times Square with a pumpkin mask on, waiting to see Harry Potter on Broadway – that’s the point.

Happy New Year everyone – and cheers!!!
