Newmarket Holidays Reveals Regions Where Santa Flights Are Selling Fastest

There are more than 300 days to Christmas, but flights to visit Santa in Lapland this Christmas are already filling up, according to booking data analysis by Newmarket Holidays.

At the Swedish Lapland resort of Pajala, which is exclusively served by Newmarket Holidays, capacity is limited to just one aircraft per day and places to meet Santa and his elves during the festive season are in high demand.

A review of booking trends at 14 airports across the UK shows that festive flights from Belfast International, Norwich and Humberside are selling fastest, ahead of Pajala flights from Gatwick, Glasgow, Luton and Birmingham.

The operator says that concerns about price rises later in the year, plus early booking discounts that are available until the end of February, are encouraging families to pin down their Christmas plans early.

Niel Alobaidi, CEO at Newmarket Holidays says: “Santa experiences are one of our most popular tours, with families getting the chance to meet Santa in his cabin, take a snow mobile ride and enjoy the wintery paradise of Swedish Lapland.

“The day-long Lapland breaks have been selling quickly over the past few weeks as people plan ahead to help manage their Christmas costs, which means that festive flights are filling up already. To avoid disappointment, our advice to avoid festive frustration is don’t leave your Lapland booking to the last minute.”

Newmarket Holidays’ Lapland Santa Experience Day Trip is available from airports across the UK with prices from £630pp, including a 10% discount that is available until 28 February, (https://newmarketholidays.co.uk, 0330 160 7700).
