Practical notes
Fly to Rovaniemi Airport (RVN). The Airport Express site currently shows a summer-labelled EUR 8 fare; the model carries EUR 10 per adult each way as an unconfirmed winter allowance, with a clear refresh flag. Check thermal clothing, pickup point, dietary needs and excursion age rules individually. An aurora chase offers an opportunity, not a sighting guarantee.
Limits of these examples
The November 10–16 hotel sample is early winter, not a Christmas or February quote. Snow may arrive in October, November or December. Do not sell husky sledding, snowmobiling or a snowtrain as guaranteed on these dates. Summer has long daylight and a different activity mix; the monthly scores reflect two different kinds of trip.
