Visit Santa's grotto onboard a Boeing 747 jumbo jet near Bristol

A former British Airways Boeing 747 will be transformed into a winter wonderland. Families can meet and greet Father Christmas and his elves on board the plane at Cotswold Airport, near Cirencester in Gloucestershire.

From November 25 until December 24, visitors armed with boarding passes and customised North Pole passports, will be guided through the 'naughty or nice security check-in' and then seated in Premium Economy for an in-flight 'elf-and-safety' briefing hosted by Peppermint, the head Elf.

Guests then make their way through the festively-decorated aircraft, complete with snow, real Christmas trees and a Northern Lights-inspired display, passing elves who are hard at work wrapping presents, then through a big red door and into Father Christmas’ 'office'. Here, visitors meet Santa for photos and gather around the log fire for a group story. Children will leave with a book and a packet of reindeer food.
