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.
