I'm about to take my first polar flight (CO99) and am really excited about what I might see. Is there a good likelihood of seeing Auroras? The north pole is in a state of perpetual darkness currently right so I doubt I'll see anything on the ground.

1992, watching parts of Los Angeles burn on a night landing as we approached from the north on a flight into San Diego. Horrible seeing the fires from the rioting.
Pitiful. Not a "I seen it from the air" memory that I cherish.

I loved what I saw when departing from Jiuzhaigou.

Flying at the same level with the mountains was amazing.

1) Mountains at Jiuzhai
2) Lighting strikes.
3) Sunsets and Sunrise

I hope I will have the luck to see the auroras in a plane too. ^

1. An incredible number of ships at anchor just out of SIN

2. Someone shining a laser at the aircraft high above LPL

Flying over the Alps, not very extraordinary but it remains one of my favourites.

Wow, that's gorgeous!! ^^

sometimes, flights between ABQ and LAX would pass right over the meteor crater in arizona (as well as the grand canyon).

on a flight into LAX on new years' eve several years ago, i passed over at least a dozen fireworks displays.

eight years ago, on a flight from yogyakarta to bali, i was on a plane that passed only a few dozen kilometers from a smoking volcano. i so regret not taking a picture.

I remember flying from EWR to YYZ a few years back and thinking "wow it looks like there's one little cloud just outside Buffalo". Turned out I was looking at Niagara Falls and the steam coming off it. That was amazing.
