Newquay to Swedish Lapland and back in a single day this Christmas

Snow at Christmas is a long shot in Cornwall. So for one day only, a travel company is flying people to it instead.

Transun is running a day trip from Cornwall Airport Newquay to Pajala in Swedish Lapland on Saturday 19 December. It is a direct flight there and back, with the whole day on the ground already planned out.

According to the airport, it will be the only flight arriving in Pajala that day. That means no bright lights and no large crowds, just quiet, remote spots that feel like they belong to the people on the trip.

What’s included in the day

The day is built around the kind of winter activities that are hard to find anywhere near home:

• Husky sledding
• A reindeer sleigh ride
• Snowmobiling
• A private family meeting with Santa
• A warming lunch

The practical side is covered too. The price includes return flights to Pajala with hot in-flight meals, 5kg of luggage, transfers in Sweden, and the loan of a thermal suit and boots.

A day that’s already planned

There’s no need to spend time working out what to do on arrival. Everything is organised from the moment the flight lands until it’s time to head back to Newquay.

Transun describes it as a way to add a little magic to the Christmas countdown, with a real-life winter wonderland waiting at the other end.
