I might pay good money to go to Antarctica. Someday, I probably will do that. But to fly over it and catch a little glimpse out the window from 30,000 feet? Why?

Flying over the Arctic is something you can do on all sorts of regularly-scheduled routes, and there's really nothing there. That part is pretty uninteresting. I'd rather spend money going to a village above the Arctic circle.
Isn't Santa's workshop there at the North Pole?

It does sound like a dreadful trip. And for that price, I'd invest in a trip to Antarctica, which I also hope to do one day.
