Our guest astronomers will guide you on your voyage of exploration and discovery through the crystal-clear winter sky and we hope to see nature's very own spectacular light show from the aircraft as we reach the Shetland Isles.

Included in the price:

  • Pre-flight illustrated presentation by our guest astronomers
  • Flight to the stars of approximately three hours
  • Services of our astronomers on board
  • Light refreshments on board
  • Airport taxes, security charges and Government  tax on air travel (APD)
  • Services of an Omega tour manager

 

Our Itinerary:

We ask you to gather before the flight for an interesting illustrated, 60 minute presentation about the night sky and the Northern Lights by our guest astronomers.  After this we will board our aircraft for our flight to the stars.

The flight will last for about 3 hours.  We will head northwards, as directly as possible, usually over Aberdeen and the Shetland Isles to a point in the North Atlantic between the UK and Icelandic airspace. 

During the flight the cabin lights will be dimmed for you to watch the Northern Lights display and passengers will be required to rotate seats so that everyone will have a window seat at various times throughout the flight.  Our astronomers will also be on board, guiding you through a star studded sky, so rarely seen through the polluted skies of Britain.

If the conditions are right, it promises to be an unforgettable sight for all.
