don't forget OP is traveling in June, so northern hemisphere daylight will be much more prevalent (and Daylight Savings Time means departure will be an hour later on the clock, so 1345CDT)

I think I saw them once on a polar flight. Or maybe not, some other phenomenon?

I was going to mention that before realizing that it's basically a daytime flight (plus it's in June, so solar activity will be more likely to affect the southern hemisphere)
