(WTNH) – It was a Christmas wish come true for some very deserving children!

United Airlines took a group of kids battling illnesses on the ultimate ‘fantasy flight’ to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus. 

125 kids battling illnesses boarded ‘Snowflake One’ for some holiday cheer.

The United Airlines 777 was decked out to the halls. The crew and those on the ground were all volunteers. 

There have been dozens of these flights over the last month by all major airlines across the country.
