Low-cost carrier Air Berlin is allowing passengers to transport their festive fir tree for free this year.
Titus Johnson, Air Berlin country manager UK and Ireland, said, 
”Most of the demand for this comes from our German customers – it seems they can’t bear to be parted from their trees at Christmas.
“After all, it was Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, who brought the tradition with him to England in the first place.


”As our present to everyone, we will carry the trees without making a charge.”


Air Berlin will transport trees of up to two metres (6ft 6ins) in height free of charge in the cargo compartment until December 24.
