Join a team of expert astronomers and fly into the night, to witness one of the world’s most magical natural phenomena - Aurora Australis or more commonly the Southern Lights. Take off onboard a Qantas Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, and head south over the Southern Ocean towards Antarctica, aiming for latitudes of 62 degrees south where the Aurora Australis is brightest. We will take you high above the clouds and weather systems to see an uninterrupted view of the southern lights. Along the way you will see constellations, stars, and planets as you have never witnessed them before.
Aboard the privately chartered aircraft, you will enjoy Qantas service – including premium drinks, delicious meals, and access to a range of inflight entertainment. The duration of the flight varies between 10-14 hours and we’d typically hope to see a couple of hours of Auroral activity over the course of the trip. Expert astronomers will provide information on route about how an aurora is created. We will have a photographer onboard to assist on how best to use your cameras. If you are an avid photographer or astronomer, we highly recommend you choose a premium seat or book a full row in economy to guarantee window access throughout the duration of the flight.
NOTE: To ensure all travellers have an opportunity to view Aurora Australis up close, there will be a seat swap during the flight. To view the seating and swap chart, click HERE
