Welcome to our new feature on the ways that the airlines are making you more comfy and less cranky this holiday travel season—"Celebrating In The Skies." Some airlines just want you to sit down and shut up, but these—thanks to extra treats and smiles—will show you how much they appreciate your flying with them.

Do you happen to be flying on Virgin America in the next few days? If so, be prepared to sit back with a free cocktail, free in-flight WiFi, and the chance to win tickets and an additional gift. You see, back when we chatted with CEO David Cush two weeks ago, he hinted that select flights during the peak holiday travel time might get some freebies, and he's made good on his word.

Welcome to our new feature on the ways that the airlines are making you more comfy and less cranky this holiday travel season—"Celebrating In The Skies." Some airlines just want you to sit down and shut up, but these—thanks to extra treats and smiles—will show you how much they appreciate your flying with them.

Welcome to our new feature on the ways that the airlines are making you more comfy and less cranky this holiday travel season—"Celebrating In The Skies." Some airlines just want you to sit down and shut up, but these—thanks to extra treats and smiles—will show you how much they appreciate your flying with them.

Although it's been a tradition in Business and First Class for years on Lufthansa to serve roast goose with red cabbage and potato dumplings and herb crumble, this year's holiday menu and festivities will extend into coach and even into the terminals.

If you find yourself flying with Lufthansa and sadly missing out on the First Class fun because of a coach ticket, you'll at least get special Christmas cookies, and the cabin crew will be handing out around 61,000 truffle chocolates, 370,000 chocolate Santa Clauses, 270,000 snowmen, one million mini-gingerbreads and 580,000 Christmas pralines to passengers. But now for the good stuff in the front of the plane...

Welcome to our new feature on the ways that the airlines are making you more comfy and less cranky this holiday travel season—"Celebrating In The Skies." Some airlines just want you to sit down and shut up, but these—thanks to extra treats and smiles—will show you how much they appreciate your flying with them.

Happy Hanukkah! Today being the first day of the Jewish holidays of Hanukkah, we're looking at the extra special offerings onboard El Al flights from JFK and Newark. Over the next couple weeks, El Al anticipates using 1,375 potatoes, 6,600 ounces of raspberry jam, and 68 cups of cinnamon to make sufganiot (jelly donuts) and latkes (potato pancakes) for lucky passengers.
