Those travelling from Shanghai to London Heathrow and London Heathrow to San Francisco received reindeer antlers to wear onboard, and they were invited take part in a special Christmas-themed challenge during the flight. 

Using a Microsoft tablet or smartphone, passengers were encouraged the find images of Santa's reindeer connected together, to help him save Christmas.

Santa eventually appeared onboard the aeroplanes as they traversed the globe, handing out Christmas gifts and vouchers to passengers.
