The pandemic from Covid-19 has unfortunately. taken away the joy of traveling serenely and frequently; in 2020 only forced shifts.
If you, like me, are nostalgic for travel to remote places, you just have to rely on Finnair's virtual travel!
The Finnish airline will offer 8 augmented reality flights that will allow you and your family to fly to Lapland to visit Santa Claus on December 25, in his town of Rovaniemi.
Finnair is also the official airline of Santa Claus.
Flying to Lapland from your couch
The project was developed in collaboration with a Finnish virtual reality studio using advanced 3D graphics techniques. Customers will therefore be able to access Christmas flights directly from home, from a computer, tablet or smartphone (but better on a smart TV, so they can fully enjoy the experience).
The trip includes spectacular images of the Northern Lights, the Arctic Circle, and even being able to "drink" a drink "on board," all for the duration of 30 minutes.
But how much does it cost?
The virtual reality flight offered by Finnair to visit Santa Claus costs €10 and can be purchased on the official website Shop.
The wonderful news is that the entire amount will be donated to UNICEF to help slow the spread of Covid-19 especially among children around the world.
"The timing couldn't be better for a VR vacation on the wings of Santa's official airline. We have been developing our virtual reality experience in Rovaniemi for more than a year now, and joining forces with Finnair is a fantastic way to reach a global audience with a seasonal message and a heart full of hope, " these are the words of Sanna Kärkkäinen, CEO of Visit Rovaniemi.
What better opportunity to entertain your children and have an unforgettable experience? In addition, the initiative is definitely for a good cause, with your virtual ticket you will help UNICEF and the world's less fortunate children.
