圣诞节前的航班：科茨沃尔德机场的圣诞老人洞穴体验得到改造

承诺“比以往任何时候都更大、更好”，今年的体验已从一小时延长到一个半小时

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).

科茨沃尔德机场独特的圣诞老人洞穴体验“圣诞节前的飞行”在这个节日期间进行了改造，SoGlos 在本周六（2024 年 11 月 23 日）向公众开放之前先睹为快。

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.

承诺“比以往任何时候都更大、更好”，今年的体验已从一小时延长到一个半小时，有全新的部分可供探索，有全新的角色可供认识，也有全新的活动可供享受。

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.

从 Elf Control 出发，儿童持票者在办理登机手续时会收到登机牌和定制的北极护照，然后通过“顽皮或友善”扫描仪，并聆听小精灵头领 Peppermint 的非常重要的“精灵与安全”简报，以及飞机上的机组人员。

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.

然后，小孩子们可以尝试各种活动，包括在奥丁熔炉制作驯鹿食物、为圣诞老人的雪橇涂漆、在巴克索恩面包店与克劳斯夫人一起装饰姜饼饼干、在玩具工厂制作泰迪熊、探索拐杖糖森林，当然还有，见到圣诞老人本人。

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.

圣诞老人将为他们提供一份特别的礼物带回家，此外，小孩子们还将收到一个愿望代币和一封给圣诞老人的信文具套装。

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，因为这里有肉馅饼、热红酒，甚至还有圣诞老人送给他们的礼物。

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 年的新举措是，每次预订时，家庭都会收到一张与圣诞老人的合影，并可以选择在当晚购买额外的照片。

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.

甚至可以选择预订优先登机，让家庭有机会首先登上 Negus 747；商务舱的一个座位；专属的精灵娱乐活动； “飞行中”款待；以及独家优先登机礼物。

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.

科茨沃尔德机场还在 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 日星期六举办专为有特殊教育需求 (SEN) 的旅客举办的特别北极光活动，噪音和光线水平较低，因此每个人都可以享受这一体验。

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

对于有饮食要求的儿童，姜饼也有无麸质和纯素食替代品。

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

标准门票价格为 39 英镑起，而优先登机费用为 48 英镑，并要求与会者在分配的会议时间前 30 分钟到达。

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个月以下的婴儿可以免费参加，但没有门票将无法参加活动或领取礼物。
