Video: Passengers embark on rare, beautiful flight

Like no other country in the world

What if we tell you that you can take a flight to witness a once-in-a-lifetime natural phenomenon? Yes, not a country but an occurrence.
For $2,800 (approximately Dh10,200), you can book a flight to see the 'Southern Lights'.
According to CNN, the first ever flight of its kind to fly to the Southern Lights took off last week from New Zealand with 134 passengers - who were treated to a spectacular light show in the sky as they flew through it.
Lasting for eight hours, the flight chased the Aurora Australis.
Photos and videos from the majestic flight popped up on social media have since gone viral on social media.
Here are our top picks from the rare flight.

An aurora is made when solar wind from the sun gets caught in the Earth's magnetic field. They are popularly known as Northern or Southern lights since they usually occur within the Arctic and Antarctic regions.
