DREAMS came true for 150 well-deserving children who enjoyed a magical Santa flight from Leeds Bradford Airport.

Jet2.com teamed up with the Day of Sunshine charity and Leeds Children's Charity for the special journey.

The children were first greeted by elves and Santa's sleigh even made a stop before the flight departed.

They then boarded the flight and headed for the skies on their hunt for Santa.With the festivities well under way it wasn’t long before the captain announced that Father Christmas had arrived to join them.

Once the aircraft was back on the ground, the children enjoyed a tea party and received a special present left by Santa.

Phil Ward, Managing Director of Jet2.com, said: “It was a magical day from start to finish, and we are so proud to have put so many smiles on so many faces."
