Supersonic Christmas: Going to Lapland on Concorde

For almost 30 years, anyone who could afford the ticket could shoot across the globe at twice the speed of sound. How? By flying on Concorde, the world’s only supersonic passenger aeroplane!
After winning a competition, Steph travelled to Lapland on Concorde when she was only four years old. Watch Steph recall the incredible experience in our video below (and keep an eye out for some excellent '90s fashion moments)!

Concorde has flown from Britain and France to Rovaniemi during Christmas 1984 - 2000. After that other planes have replaced Concorde. In Rovaniemi, the Christmas business runs all year round, even if there is no snow in the summer or during unlucky Christmases (which fortunately are very rare). in 2016, based on information provided by the Finnish Broadcasting Company, a total of 180 charter planes will arrive in Rovaniemi in December. More than 200 will come to Kittilä and a total of 503 to Finnish Lapland.
