We bring Lapland closer to everyone with convenient regional flights! Thanks to our direct charter service, we proudly offer departures from airports across the UK to Enontekio Airport near the northwestern tip of Finland.
Along with all the capital cities in the four home countries, our flights depart from as far north as Edinburgh and Glasgow to as far south as Exeter and Bournemouth.
Travelling from an airport closer to where you live typically means a less stressful and hectic experience. You’ll not only have a shorter journey to the airport, but also encounter smaller crowds checking in and going through security.
From our UK departure airports, the flight time is approximately 3 hours 30 minutes to Enontekio Airport, with no lengthy stopovers in cities like Helsinki or Stockholm.
Belfast
Depart from Belfast to Lapland this winter on a magical search for Santa or an adventure along the official Northern Lights Route.
Leaving Belfast International Airport in the morning, our direct charter 3.5-hour flight takes you high into the Arctic Circle. Deep in True Lapland, the snow-clad forests and frozen lakes will seem a world away from Northern Ireland where you'll ride snowmobiles, husky sleds and reindeer sleighs through the picture-perfect landscape.
Our Winter Wonderland daybreaks are perfect for families, and no trip would be complete without a visit to see Father Christmas – as you’ve travelled a long way to see him! Returning to Belfast later that evening, you’ll be filled with memories to last a lifetime!
If you'd like to visit Lapland a little longer on a festive family getaway, our Santa short breaks departing from Belfast are ideal. Staying in cosy, traditional village hotels, your accommodation for the holiday will be a good base from which to enjoy the exhilarating activities this extraordinary region has to offer. We only choose resorts in True Lapland far away from the mass-market commercial resorts of Rovaniemi or Saariselka – so with Transun, you know you'll be visiting the authentic Lapland.
Of course, there is something here to take everyone’s breath away, and our Arctic Spirit breaks prove that Lapland is for grown-ups too! Spend three to seven nights immersed in Europe's last unspoiled wilderness while driving snowmobiles across the vast frozen tundra, mushing an eager team of husky dogs and embarking on other once-in-a-lifetime excursions.
Birmingham
From the Midlands to Lapland, who knew it could be this easy? Our Santa’s Lapland and Artic Spirit holidays from Birmingham are always popular, and our exclusive charter flights make the Arctic Circle accessible from Birmingham like never before. Flying to Enontekio Airport in Finnish Lapland, these dedicated flights of just 3.5 hours will transport you to the very edge of the world where a host of unique experiences await.
From visiting Santa in his hideaway log cabin during a magical day trip or short break, to seeing the Northern Lights dance in the open skies, there is something in Lapland to take everyone’s breath away – and our special winter breaks before and after Christmas prove that Lapland is for grown-ups too!
Activities include meeting the reindeer (practically mascots of the region, so important are they to the way of life), husky sledding, cross-country skiing, snowmobiles and much more. Your itinerary will be busier than the Bullring & Grand Central shopping centre on a weekend. Don’t miss out on a chance to make your festive period an extra special one this year, where we can almost always guarantee a white Christmas: no fake snow needed here!
Explore our wide range of family-friendly and adult-focussed holidays available in Lapland direct from Birmingham!
Bournemouth
Swap sand for snow – and away we go! We are delighted to offer a number of exclusive departures from Bournemouth Airport, flying to the Arctic Circle for either a Santa’s Lapland break or a wilderness escape in search of the Northern Lights.
There’s truly no place on earth that captures the magic of Christmas like Lapland, but that’s also not all the region has to offer. Try your hand at ice fishing on a frozen river, mushing your own team of husky dogs or being led through the snow-clad forest by reindeer sleigh – Lapland has it all! Or why not stay a night in an igloo too? Or for star-gazers, a glass cabin?
Go for a single day, or our short stays offer more chances to see the spectacle of the Northern Lights. Not to mention, you’ll get the chance to enjoy snowmobile adventure tours, cross-country skiing and village visits. There’s something for everyone in the homeland of Christmas – with even a chance for the children to meet Santa himself.
These once-in-a-lifetime experiences that are not to be missed depart from Bournemouth each winter.
Bristol
Bristol is famous for its rivers, but do you ever get to travel across frozen rivers and lakes by husky, reindeer or snowmobile? No, even the 'Mum City' can’t provide that, but Lapland certainly can. And you can reach the epicentre of all things Christmas directly.
Having operated flights from Bristol Airport for many years, we are proud to be offering a selection of direct charters to the Arctic each winter. Whether a family getaway to see Santa in his Lapland kingdom, or a adult-oriented break in search of the fabled Northern Lights, there is a winter trip departing from the South West created with you in mind. Our selection of Lapland trips – Winter Wonderland daybreaks, Santa short breaks and Arctic Spirit holidays – give you the chance to cross-country ski, toboggan and even stay in an igloo, all under the spell of the fabled Aurora Borealis!
These charter flight departures – exclusive to Transun – operate on selected dates throughout the winter. Explore our range of Lapland holidays departing from Bristol below.
Cardiff
Having to travel into England to fly for a holiday isn’t on anyone’s Christmas wishlist. But luckily, the festive holiday of a lifetime is only a long film’s duration away for the good folk of Wales, as our flights are direct from Cardiff to Lapland, where amazing adventures await.
Depart from the airport in the Welsh capital to Lapland this winter on a magical day trip or an Arctic Spirit getaway. Our exclusive charter flight operates direct to Enontekio in the far north of Lapland. It’s just a 3.5-hour flight from Cardiff but the snow-covered fells of the Arctic Circle are a world away from the Welsh valleys.
Once you land in True Lapland amid the dramatic snowscapes – a picture-perfect backdrop for the winter wonderland that Santa calls his home – you’ll be glad you made the trip. The huskies and reindeer will be eager to meet you – as will the Grand Old Man himself! Play in the snow and ride a snowmobile down a frozen river before your journey back to Cardiff to be home in time for supper.
What a day (or more) of adventure!
Edinburgh
Few appreciate Christmas as much as the Scots, after the holiday was famously made illegal for a period in the 17th century, meaning Scotland had some making up to do! So it makes sense to go to the homeland of all things festive and of course to Father Christmas himself. The Christmas shops on the Royal Mile may be fabulous, but there’s nothing quite like the real thing, is there?
And so, don’t delay, and depart from Edinburgh this winter on a festive day trip or short break to Lapland. Leaving Scotland early in the morning, the 3.5-hour flight takes you high into the Arctic Circle. Deep in True Lapland, the snow-clad forests and frozen lakes will seem like a different world.
Drive snowmobiles, mush husky sleds and ride reindeer sleighs through the picture-perfect landscape. Of course, no visit to Lapland would be complete without a meeting with Santa – you’ve travelled a long way to see him! Returning to Edinburgh that evening or a few days later, you’ll be filled with memories to last a lifetime!
What's more, Transun offer Arctic Spirit breaks especially for grown-ups! Go on a snowmobile adventure tour and spend several nights immersed in Europe's last unspoiled wilderness. You'll have chances to see the spectacle of the Northern Lights while also enjoying a wide array of activities, like visiting Sami reindeer camps, cross-country skiing and traditional Arctic ice fishing.
Thermals under kilts – highly recommended.

But we do have a proud, decades-long history of offering exclusive charter flights from a wide range of UK regional airports, and each year we offer departures from Exeter on selected dates to the Arctic Circle.
Fly direct to Enontekio in northwesternmost Finland for day trips or short breaks to Santa’s Lapland or for our Arctic Spirit holidays. You'll have chances to enjoy snowmobiling, meet reindeer and perhaps spot the spectacular Northern Lights. Some trips also include things like husky sledding, and a private meeting with Father Christmas himself, who may just have some presents to give out (he is famed for it, after all)!
Plus, why not spend a night in an igloo too? Or a glass cabin? There’s even an ice hotel you can visit!
