I heard some city restrict flying altitude except for Santa Claus. Please tell me a city having such a law.

Cities have no authority over airspace. Only the FAA or the equivalent government authority in other countries can impose altitude/airspace restrictions. General Clause, Santa has an unlimited International wavier that grants him immunity from all airspace restrictions (including, but not limited to TFRs, MOAs, and all Class Airspaces A thru E). This wavier covers altitude, speed, take-off and landing restrictions, noise abatement, and transportation of cargo and animals. However, his wavier is only valid from 2100 -2400 hrs on 25 Dec. and is automatically renewed yearly. In addition, Gen. Clause is also provided flight following and fighter escort to any location in the world.

Those altitude restrictions apply to Aircraft. Santa's sleigh is not considered an aircraft since it apparently flies on principles other than those governing the flight of an aircraft. So Santa is exempt from most aviation regulations all over the world.
lol

AND it's a secret, so no city can provide that information. :)
