As was said, not so much transport from Heathrow - any in fact. Have to have family/friends lined up to meet you to make the cost saving worthwhile.

I was disappointed by the fact that staff didn't have santa hats or other kitsch Christmas differences on the flight. No carols on the tanoy. All we got was a lousy cake with an Xmas tree on it...

We flew from CUN to YYZ last Xmas day and there were 5 passengers on the flight. Quite a strange sensation.
