点评:This review is for the Enchanting Lapland day trip flying out of Stansted to Enontekio, with a 30 month old and a 10 year old.
At 30 months old our child was probably the youngest on the entire plane and i was called by the agent prior to being able to book to ensure i was aware that the trip may not be suitable for a child of his age. It was in the end, however not a problem but i can see how it might be for children who suffer from the cold.
Booking and all pre day communication was spot on. We received our bag containing a letter from Santa, weeks in advance. My only issue with this was we didn't know what Santa's letter said and there was no way of opening it prior to the event without the wax seal being broken. Small issue i know but if like us you were telling fibs as to why and how we were going then it was an issue.
Arrived at Stansted for a 7:30 flight. At check in we were greeted by cheery staff, handing out sweets to the kids and the magic started. On the plane, a simple meal was laid on, with complimentary tea, coffee or water. Chargeable drinks were available. Flight crew played games when service was complete but this wasn't for too long. Pilot got us in the mood, telling the kids we were being guided in by reindeer.
Upon arrival at Enontekio we were swiftly moved through passport control. After that, suiting and booting up took approximately 15 mins and was very efficient. Plenty of staff on hand to deal with any issues. We were given a bag to store all our jackets, shoes, valuables etc in whilst we were away for the day. Whilst we were advised not to bring electronics and valuables, we did and we felt these were safe.
We were loaded straight onto sledges containing about 8 people and werew taken by snow mobiles to the village which was approx 20 mins away.. This was the coldest part of the day, with wind chill being the thing that got you. We got our little guy low down and wrapped up for this part and he was fine.
In the village we immediately booked a time to go to see Santa. Once that was lined up we were free to do any of the activities, as often or for as long as we wanted for the day. We warmed up in the restaurant whilst it was quiet and planned our day.
Through the day we undertook all the activities on offer, meeting the elves, and taking in the whole day. Food was always on offer in the restaurant, a simple vegetarian pasta dish or pancakes, as was a nice warm fire.
I wont spoil the meeting santa part, but it wasn't rushed and was great.
In all, the day was all we needed. There was nothing more we would want to do and we felt the overnight stop wasn't required.
Bus back to the airport, before heading home. Yes it's a lot of money by anyones standard, but what a day. I did it 35 years ago as the child, and still remember it fondly. I hope my kids do in 35 years too.

我们的孩子 30 个月大,可能是整架飞机上最小的,在预订之前,代理人给我打电话,以确保我知道这次旅行可能不适合他这个年龄的孩子。虽然最后还是没问题,但我可以想象对于患有感冒的孩子来说这会是怎样的情况。
预订和所有日前沟通都很顺利。我们提前几周收到了装有圣诞老人来信的袋子。我唯一的问题是我们不知道圣诞老人的信说了什么,而且在活动之前没有办法在不破坏蜡封的情况下打开它。我知道这是一个小问题,但如果像我们一样,你在我们为什么以及如何去的问题上撒谎,那么这就是一个问题。
搭乘7点30分的航班抵达斯坦斯特德。办理入住手续时,我们受到了热情的工作人员的欢迎,向孩子们分发糖果,魔法开始了。飞机上提供了简单的餐食,包括免费的茶、咖啡或水。提供收费饮料。服务完成后,机组人员开始玩游戏,但这并没有持续太久。飞行员告诉孩子们我们是在驯鹿的引导下进入的,这让我们心情愉悦。
抵达埃农泰基奥后,我们很快就通过了护照检查。之后,套装和启动大约需要 15 分钟,非常高效。现场有大量工作人员来处理任何问题。当我们外出一天时,他们给了我们一个袋子来存放我们所有的夹克、鞋子、贵重物品等。虽然我们被建议不要携带电子产品和贵重物品,但我们还是这么做了,而且我们觉得这些是安全的。
我们直接被装上载有大约 8 个人的雪橇,然后被雪地摩托带到大约 20 分钟路程外的村庄。这是一天中最冷的时候,风寒刺骨。我们让我们的小家伙低头并为这部分做好准备,他很好。
到了村里我们立即预约了时间去看圣诞老人。一旦安排好,我们就可以自由地进行任何活动,只要我们一天想要进行的次数或时间就可以。我们在安静的餐厅里热身并计划我们的一天。
一整天,我们都进行了所提供的所有活动,与精灵见面,并度过了一整天。餐厅总是提供食物,简单的素食面食或煎饼,还有温暖的炉火。
我不会破坏与圣诞老人会面的部分,但它并不匆忙,而且很棒。
总而言之,这一天就是我们所需要的。我们没有什么想做的了,我们觉得不需要过夜。
乘巴士返回机场,然后回家。是的,以任何人的标准来看,这都是一大笔钱,但今天真是太好了。 35年前,我还是个孩子的时候就做过这件事,至今仍记忆犹新。我希望我的孩子 35 年后也能这么做。
