Rare glimpse at A350 flight deck’s journey over the North Pole

Shortly after leaving Tokyo, the flight has to dodge the bad weather over the Pacific.

But once they pass the storm, they fly over Alaska, where the views are simply mesmerizing.

The fastest way back from Tokyo is often over the North Pole.

On this trip, the plane flies close to the North Pole, within 30 miles, and then, it flies down past Svalbard and northern Norway to Helsinki.

During the flight, there is a brief dawn before it gets dark again.

Sighting The Northern Lights

One of the most beautiful sights is the Northern Lights, which brighten the sky over the Arctic.

As Airbus A350 reaches the North Pole, there’s nothing but pitch darkness and complete silence. This is what makes this journey even more special.

Like one air cabin crew captured birds flying alongside their plane, the crew captured the unique scene on video.

During the journey, the pilots see something amazing in the sky.

They spot the Northern Lights in an array of colors, an unusual sight even for experienced pilots.

Similarly to this airline captain who spent a full year’s pay chartering a plane to fly 112 friends to Hawaii, it was a memorable journey altogether.
