Re: Anyone have inside knowledge on AC flights?!
We flew out from Ottawa to LHR on Xmas eve night last year. Plane was pretty busy, probably because it was massively cheaper than the day before.
As that flight is overnight though, we arrived Xmas Day morning jet-lagged to all hell and wanting to sleep by the time the pudding was eaten.
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...

I've taken flights out on Christmas and new years day (only in my early years, seniority has its advantages when that roster comes up) when the crew outnumbered pax.
