The price, contrary to what others have said on here is fair, 2x 3.5hr flights alone aren't going to be cheap. The cost, obviously, racks up when there is 4 (2 adults, 2 children) going but that is obvious. Lapland itself is amazing! All of the staff and elves that we encountered were so friendly and genuine. The snowsuit and boots that are supplied are excellent and upto the job of keeping you warm. The lunch at the place is perfectly acceptable, basic but appeals to all kids and most, reasonable, adults. The amount of time at the Snow Village is tight and could do with being about an hour and a half longer, but I guess that would make the overall day (already quite long) even longer. That said, this gives a superb taster of Lapland. A previous review states that there are no carols or Christmas decorations there and whilst true, I hadn't really noticed as the day for me, was all about snow and Lapland. The skidoo ride out to see Father Christmas was unbelievable! I don't know what a previous review was going on about when it said that they were left standing 'at the side of a road'. These were all tracks through forests where no other vehicles (except skidoos) would be and it was slightly bumpy (the turbulence on the plane journey was worse) but no more than one would expect. Certainly nowhere near enough to make someone 'cry out in pain'!!!!! The coach journey from the airport was excellent. The driver showing how driving in snow and ice can be done if you know what you're doing! The only negative point on the whole day was the flights themselves. The crew were excellent but the seats are crammed in so tight and are wafer thin and if you get the passengers from hell behind (like we did), you feel EVERY TIME that they kick the seat back or rummage in the seat back pocket (which they did every few minutes), which made the flights horrendous. All in all though, a superb day. I was really nervous after reading some of these negative reviews and in large, the actual day was nothing like they say. I guess it all comes down to individual expectations, but we were left with nothing but amazing memories* (*except for the flights!)
