Passengers traveling with BA this Christmas can look forward to a sweet treat.

The airline says it's ordered 60,000 mince pies, and 1 tonne of cream to keep holidaymakers satisfied.

They've issued their Christmas stats - among them, the fact at 00:01 on Christmas Day they'll have 58 planes in the air, with approximately 17,500 customers onboard.

That's a significant difference to Irish airlines Aer Lingus and Ryanair who do not operate on Christmas Day. 

BA's also taken the opportunity to embarrass its staff - they say workers with Christmas-themed surnames include two Christmas’, one Claus, four Rudolphs, two Snowballs and five Yules!

The airline also tweeted a photo this morning of Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Ola Jordan. She was teaching some of the cabin crew the dance to Psy's Gangham style - the Korean who has taken the popular culture world by storm and who is on the verge of becoming YouTube's biggest sensation ever with almost one billion views.
