“The connection to Rovaniemi is not just another destination in our network, but above all a journey to a place where you can truly feel the magic of Christmas. It is a symbolic route, filled with emotion and moments we share with our loved ones. We are delighted to make our passengers’ dreams come true and take them to the very heart of Lapland, especially since northern Finland fits perfectly into our strategy of expanding the range of connections to regions with strong tourism potential. I am convinced that Lapland — with its stunning landscapes and a wide range of winter attractions — will become one of the favourite destinations of the season. We warmly invite everyone on board”, said Krzysztof Moczulski, PLL LOT Spokesperson.
In the spirit of hospitality, the carrier ensures high-quality experiences for all passengers on board. During the holiday season, the airline goes the extra mile – especially when it comes to caring for the youngest travellers. LOTek – a small companion on big trips – will be present aboard, featuring a special, Christmas look. It will accompany the youngest passengers on all long-hauls flights, and on December 6th and 24th, also on short-hauls routes.
The beloved mascot, popular with young passengers, accompanies children on LOT flights in its various seasonal editions, helping them manage travel-related emotions, sparking their imagination and encouraging them to explore the world. Young travellers can also enjoy additional treats, such as colourful lunchboxes or aviation-themed gadgets from the Shop & More collection, allowing them to take their special experience home.
