Any festivities at all on overseas USA-Madrid New year´s eve flight?
 

Just curious if anyone out there has flown a long flight on New Year´s Eve, and if there is any festive atmosphere.. old lang syne(sp?) sung, or whatever, when it is around midnight?

My mom will be on one, so i was curious as to whether there will be anything at ALL going on out of the ordinary.

thanks in advance..

hey, your mom is finally coming !! :) I don't know if they celebrate, maybe a special dinner or something like that ...

hi, kenderina. felices fiestas.
both up too late.. huh?

i am winding down after cooking. tomorrow i still have to go get some gifts.

i hope someone can tell me if it is going to be any fun at all. i would hope so.

hope your dad is doing well.

give your mom a hug from me.
call when you come back down here.

p.s. we went to don giovanni last night. singers great.
building interior disppointing.
will elaborate another time. thought you would be interested.

I've flown on Dec 31, arriving Jan 1 and on Dec 31, arriving Jan 2 and so losing New Year's Day altogether.

On any serious long flight there is, of course, no "midnight". Indeed, you'll often find yourself getting on the plane when it's already past midnight in your destination country, and in the mind of most of your flight crew and fellow passengers.

More importantly, virtually all flights from the US to the Eurozone are overnight - and no professional airline will interrupt passengers' sleep.

So there's just been a few "happy new year" announcements at the beginning and end of the flight.

I have known Qantas crew all dress up in Father Christmas costumes on Dec 24, though.

thanks.. i guess i´ll find out when she lands...

cvg delta ticketing land crew was all in costume on october 31st, which i thought was cute, which led me to wonder if they do anything for the other holidays!

happy holidays everyone!
