聖誕節前的航班：科茨沃爾德機場的聖誕老人洞穴體驗得到改造

承諾“比以往任何時候都更大、更好”，今年的體驗已從一小時延長到一個半小時

Cotswold Airport’s unique Santa’s grotto experience, The Flight Before Christmas, has had a revamp this festive season — and SoGlos got a first look before it opens to the public this Saturday (23 November 2024).

科茨沃爾德機場獨特的聖誕老人洞穴體驗「聖誕節前的飛行」在這個節日期間進行了改造，SoGlos 在本週六（2024 年 11 月 23 日）向公眾開放之前先睹為快。

Promising to be ‘bigger and better than ever’, this year the experience has been extended from one hour to an hour and a half, there are brand-new sections to explore, characters to meet and activities to enjoy.

承諾“比以往任何時候都更大、更好”，今年的體驗已從一小時延長到一個半小時​​，有全新的部分可供探索，有全新的角色可供認識，也有全新的活動可供享受。

Starting off at Elf Control, child ticketholders receive a boarding pass and customised North Pole passport at check-in, before passing through the ‘naughty or nice’ scanner and listening to a very important ‘elf and safety’ briefing from head elf, Peppermint, and their cabin crew on board the plane.

從Elf Control 出發，兒童持票者在辦理登機手續時會收到登機證和定制的北極護照，然後通過“頑皮或友善”掃描儀，並聆聽小精靈頭領Peppermint 的非常重要的“精靈與安全」簡報，以及飛機上的機組人員。

Then little ones have a variety of activities to try, including making reindeer food at Odin’s Forge, painting Santa’s sleigh, decorating gingerbread biscuits with Mrs Claus at Buckthorne’s Bakery, making teddy bears in the Toy Factory, exploring the Candy Cane Forest and, of course, meeting Santa Claus himself.

然後，小朋友可以嘗試各種活動，包括在奧丁熔爐製作馴鹿食物、為聖誕老人的雪橇塗漆、在巴克索恩麵包店與克勞斯夫人一起裝飾薑餅餅乾、在玩具工廠製作泰迪熊、探索拐杖糖森林，當然還有，見到聖誕老公公本人。

Father Christmas will provide a special gift for them to take home, plus little ones will also receive a wish token and a Letter to Father Christmas stationary set.

聖誕老人將為他們提供一份特別的禮物帶回家，此外，小朋友還將收到一個願望代幣和一封給聖誕老人的信文具套裝。

Grown-ups aren’t left out either, as there’s mince pies, mulled wine and even a gift from Santa included for them.

成年人也不被排除在外，因為這裡有肉餡餅、熱紅酒，甚至還有聖誕老人送給他們的禮物。

New for 2024, families will receive a photo with Father Christmas with every booking — with the option to buy additional prints on the night.

2024 年的新舉措是，每次預訂時，家庭都會收到一張與聖誕老人的合影，並可以選擇在當晚購買額外的照片。

There’s even the option to book Priority Boarding, which gives families the chance to board the Negus 747 first; a seat in Business Class; an exclusive elf entertainment session; an ‘in-flight’ treat; and an exclusive Priority Boarding gift.

甚至可以選擇預訂優先登機，讓家庭有機會先登上 Negus 747；商務艙的一個座位；專屬的精靈娛樂活動； 「飛行中」款待；以及獨家優先登機禮物。

Cotswold Airport is also running special Northern Lights sessions designed for guests with special educational needs (SEN) on Friday 29 November and Friday 6, Saturday 7 and Saturday 15 December 2024, with lower noise and light levels, so everyone can enjoy the experience.

科茨沃爾德機場還在2024 年11 月29 日星期五、2024 年6 日星期五、7 日星期六和12 月15 日星期六舉辦專為有特殊教育需求(SEN) 的旅客舉辦的特別北極光活動，噪音和光線水平較低，因此每個人都可以享受這一體驗。

There are gluten free and vegan alternatives for the gingerbread for children with dietary requirements, too.

對於有飲食需求的兒童，薑餅也有無麩質和純素食替代品。

Standard tickets cost from £39, while Priority Boarding costs £48 and requires attendees to arrive 30 minutes before the allocated session time.

標準門票價格為 39 英鎊起，而優先登機費用為 48 英鎊，並要求與會者在分配的會議時間前 30 分鐘到達。

Babies under 12-months-old can attend for free, but won’t be able to take part in activities or receive a gift without a ticket.

12個月以下的嬰兒可以免費參加，但沒有門票將無法參加活動或領取禮物。
