Had the same experience on an AMS-LAX flight a few winters ago. Truly spectacular. Fortunately, you have a decent chance at experiencing this again with any westbound transatlantic winter flight.
Related: back in college I took a late-night LAX-ANC flight (possibly a redeye, don't remember). I had a row to myself and dozed off. When I awoke we were somewhere over northwest BC, it was pitch black, I happened to look out the window and saw my first-ever aurora. Think I had my nose against that window for the remainder of the flight
