Temperature and Suitability
Temperatures rarely rise above freezing, and can sometimes get as low as -35C. If the temperature becomes so cold that activities become unsafe, we may move the location or time of those activities. Due to the very cold temperatures that can be experienced in Lapland, this trip is not recommended for anyone aged 4 years and under.
Thermal wear for all sizes is provided at Santa's Village for your use during the day, but we recommend that you bring a suitable hat, gloves and outerwear (plus wear lots of layers) for travel between the aircraft and the village. Footwear is also available if you do not have your own boots.
Meals
No catering is provided on the outbound flights from the UK. A traditional hot Swedish lunch will be provided at the village, however there are very limited choices, so if you have fussy eaters in your party we recommend taking your own food and some snacks with you. Hot berry juice will be available throughout the day. Light meals will be provided for your inbound flight.
Due to the remoteness of the location, we are unfortunately unable to fulfil any special dietary requirements. We'd therefore kindly ask that any customers who suffer from allergies also take their own food for the day. You may also like to bring treats for your children to snack on during the day.
Due to airport security, liquids must be purchased after you have passed through Passport Control and you should not purchase “Duty Free” liquids at your UK airport.
Currency
British pound sterling (GBP) may be used to purchase drinks, snacks and souvenirs in the small gift shop. Valid credit/debit cards are accepted but please note that these transactions will be charged in Swedish krona (SEK).
Travel insurance for optional activities
Please make sure that your travel insurance has adequate cover for any activities you may wish to participate in while on holiday (this may need to include winter sports cover).

The amount varies from airport to airport, but it is generally between £5 and £10 per person. Please visit the airport's website for further information.
Travelling to Europe
Rules may have changed since you last travelled to European Union countries and Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. The following are useful guidelines which will help you prepare for your next adventure. Note that these new rules do NOT apply when travelling within the United Kingdom or to the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or the Republic of Ireland. You do require government issued ID when travelling by air though.
Names - It is very important that all passenger names are exactly as per your passport although we do not require middle names.
Passport - Your passport must meet two requirements to travel to an EU country and to Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. It must be: Less than 10 years old on the day you return home (please check the "date of issue") and valid for at least 3 months after the day you return home (please check the "expiry date").
These rules do not apply to travel to Ireland where you can continue to use your passport as long as it’s valid for the length of your stay.
Visa - If you’re a tourist, you do not need a visa for short trips to most EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. You’ll be able to stay for up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period. Different rules will apply to Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus and Romania; if you visit these countries, visits to other EU countries will not count towards the 90-day total. Travel to Ireland will not change and stays there will not count towards the 90-day total.
European Travel Information & Authorisation System (ETIAS) - Commencing in 2023, all citizens of the United Kingdom will require a ETIAS electronic form completed prior to their arrival into the EU and Schengen member countries. The cost for this travel authorisation will be €7.00 per person with exceptions for under 18’s and over 70’s. The latest information and further details can be found at www.etias.com.
Border Control - At border control, you may need to show proof of your return journey - your travel documentation issued by us will be sufficient for this. You will also need to use separate lanes from EU, EEA and Swiss citizens if manual checks are required.
Healthcare Cover - You should always get appropriate travel insurance with healthcare cover before you go abroad which covers pre-existing conditions. You should understand the terms and conditions of your travel insurance and be happy with its cover for healthcare and travel disruption. Newmarket sell a comprehensive travel insurance policy. Ask our travel consultants for more information.
You should also apply for a UK Global Heath Insurance Card (GHIC) which lets you get urgent state healthcare in Europe at a reduced cost or sometimes for free. Note GHIC is only valid in EU countries and not in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
