We flew on christmas eve last year at bout 2pm thought it would be really exciting but apart form the air steward wearing santa hats it was just like any other flight.

We flew with emirates one good thing was that the flight wasnt fully booked so we could stretch out across the middle seats for a sleep if we wanted.

We got the flights for a bout £200 each cheaper by flying on that day so it was worth it just for the saving.

Yes thats one of the reasons we are looking at it, if we did'nt have 2 kids I would happily fly on christmas day (bah humbug) as its quite a bit cheaper, all though the thought of airline turkey could be reason not to.

We are flying at 23:30 i.e. late evening with Qantas from Frankfurt (we live in Germany).

We are lucky enough to be flying business and the flights work out at just over €10,000 (compared with a normal price of about €17,000).

Ps. That's for 4 of us and I'm not paying
