Magical Lapland
Arrive in Kittila
You’ll get a traditional cooked English breakfast on your flight to Lapland. After landing at Kittila airport, you’ll pick up your thermal clothing before you take the transfer to your hotel in Yllas. Once you’ve arrived, the rest of the day’s yours to suss out your snowy surroundings.
Snow Village and Santa
There’s lots on the agenda today. First up, you’ll get a big dose of Lappish culture at the snow village. This is the place where you’ll have your husky-sleigh ride taster session before decorating cookies and making Christmas ornaments. Next, you’ll zoom through the snow on a toboggan ride as you make your way to the big event – your meeting with Santa.
Free time / Festive finale
Today’s free for you to explore at your own leisure, or book in an extra TUI experience – just make sure you book before you go so you don’t risk missing out. If you’re staying for three nights, you’ll hand your thermal clothing back today before you head to your festive finale this evening, where you’ll tuck into a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. Meanwhile, those staying for four nights will have a free evening.
Fly home / Festive finale
Whether you stayed for three or four nights, you’ll get a festive Christmas dinner on your flight back home. For those on a three-night trip, it’s time to head back to the airport ready for your flight home today. Or, if you’ve still got another night left, you’ll have another free day to fit in anything you missed the day before. Search for Yllass for all the options. Later, you’ll hand in your thermal clothing before heading to your festive finale, which will feature a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.
Fly home
It’s home time for those staying for four nights today, as you’ll be heading back to the airport ready for your flight home.
