Tui launch ‘Search for Santa’ day trip to Lapland amid concerns over impact on climate
Tui launch day trip to Finland’s Lapland despite climate concerns
- Tui has launched new "Search for Santa" day trips to Kittila, Finland, offering families the chance to meet Santa and return home on the same day.
- Priced from £750 per person, the package includes return flights with in-flight meals (full English breakfast and Christmas dinner), thermal clothing, a hot lunch, and activities like reindeer sleigh rides and husky adventures.
- These festive trips are scheduled between 5 and 23 December, departing from 11 UK airports as part of Tui’s Winter 2026 programme.
- Anna Hughes, director of Flight Free UK, criticised the extreme day trips, expressing concern over their environmental impact due to increased flight emissions.
- Hughes noted that such trips contribute to climate change, directly affecting Lapland's snowfall, and suggested sleeper trains as a more sustainable alternative for similar experiences.
