    you will be able to get great deals to lapland after christmas/new year and before the feb half term (around £200 each for hotel and flight for a week) so this is a reasonably cheap way of getting to where you maybe able to see them - however - do not go and spend any money if you think that you are defo going to see them as there is no assurances that you will

    I have been to lapland 5 times and only seen them once despite many hours of looking for them
  • Seeing the Northern Lights has been (well still is) on my bucket list. I am just checking to see if any friends of mine wish to come - if not I'll go it alone, after all it is 'my' bucket list.

    So, in February I'll be getting on a plane, flying to the area and hopefully seeing the lights for £200 all in.

    Getting a tad excited! Omega holidays fly out from various airports.

    Britons living as far south as the Cotswolds may have the best chance in years of seeing the Northern Lights this evening as the impact of a vast solar storm begins to be felt on Earth.
