Lapland flights?

Hi, I'm starting to do some research on a Christmas 2022 visit to Lapland for our family. I would ideally like to do this DIY. Probably looking to fly into Rovaniemi and then hire a car and drive further north. I'm struggling to find flights for this far in the future which is expected, does anyone know which airlines fly to lapland?
I have tried to search for this year for an idea but feel im not getting a true representation, probably due to Covid.
Happy to fly from any northern/midland airport but would prefer Manchester

Thanks in advance
Allan

    Finnair is probably the only scheduled airline operating flights, the rest are direct charters operated by tour companies who will only sell packages and not flight only's. They have at times run flights direct from Heathrow but most require you to change at Helsinki, and they do fly to Helsinki from Manchester. I would suggest you check the availability and cost of car hire before going much further!

    Easyjet fly to Kittila (for Levi) and Rovaniemi from Gatwick 
    TUI Have a much wider range of flights - I know they do Kittila = not sure if anywhere else
    And as Alan says there are scheduled alternatuives 

    Rovaniemi is very much a town - look at some pics before booking - though i note you intend to drive on 
    I went to Levi and I found it a really nice place 
    Ski slopes if you fancy skiing
    Enough going on but still have a ski villagy feel 
    Not far from Airport for driving 

    Hope thathelps 
  • Car hire works out at £200ish for 5 days, not to bad
