Almost 150 lucky children boarded a very special Jet2.com flight from Manchester Airport yesterday, which came complete with festive carol singers, elves, a snowman, and even Santa himself!
We teamed up with A Day of Sunshine, a charity based in Lytham St Annes, to run the once in a lifetime flight. Once everyone had enjoyed a very festive check-in and boarded the aircraft, the pilot came over the tannoy to surprise the children with the news that a very special guest had landed his sleigh nearby and might be paying them a visit. At that point Santa turned up to surprise the children and hand out gifts.
Check out the gallery below to see what fun everyone had on our Santa flight.
