I can't believe I just put it like that but I can't quite describe it any other way. I'm guessing their flight will be very nice though. They'll be exhausted but excited.
I hope the airline treats them well then. It could probably be quite fun having Christmas in the air
You should get them to take photos then they could enter the flying photo comp

You'll be right. You've still got the tank at your place remember?
Put on a santa hat and some tinsel and people will smile and be nice to you while you're there

That's a good idea Lurker, I can't get in touch with them until they land in Hong Kong, but I'll certainly suggest it to them then ...
