It’s one of the most travel-worthy scenes on Earth: spotting the Northern Lights.<\/p>\n

There are only a few accessible locations with\u00a0quality views of the colorful aurora borealis. But even if you manage to book a flight and trek out into the wilderness (where visibility is usually best), factors like weather and time of year can mean the natural phenomenon’s glow doesn’t appear, rendering the entire journey futile.<\/p>\n

Alaska Airlines wants to help travelers simplify their quest to see this natural wonder. Not only is\u00a0its latest flight deal\u00a0dedicated to one of the\u00a0best places to view\u00a0the Northern Lights\u2014Fairbanks, Alaska\u2014but from January 13 to 17 the carrier will offer discounts on tickets based on the forecasted visibility of the\u00a0aurora borealis. The more intense the Northern Lights are forecasted to be, the deeper the discount on airfare.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it works: Alaska Airlines flights from the lower 48 states to both Fairbanks and Anchorage will be discounted by up to 35 percent based on the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute\u2019s daily aurora forecast. Scientists measure the aurora’s visibility on any given day on a scale called the Kp-index. For the flight deal, savings will increase in set increments based on this visibility forecast. A forecast of 0 to 3 Kp means 15 percent off airfare; 4 to 5 Kp triggers a 20 percent discount; 6 to 7 Kp will save fliers 25 percent, and a strong visibility rating of 8 to 9 Kp means the top savings of 35 percent off flights. Discounts apply for travel through February 12.<\/p>\n

In addition to being one of the few places where Americans can\u00a0see the Northern Lights\u00a0without a passport, Fairbanks also has one of the longest viewing seasons for the aurora borealis, which stretches from August 21 to April 21. Once there, you’ll find many\u00a0potential perches\u00a0for watching the arctic light show, including the\u00a0Aurora Borealis Lodge. Another can’t-miss activity is the Chena Hot Springs Resort, about an hour east of Fairbanks.<\/p>\n

The flight deal is the latest in a larger strategy from Alaska Airlines to use dynamic pricing in order to entice travelers to make more spontaneous bookings. In November, the airline offered a\u00a0similar deal to Hawaii, with discounts varying on the size of the surf swell off the islands. “This is just the start of how we\u2019ll use dynamic data in the future to appeal to our flyers\u2019 passions,\u201d Natalie Bowman, Alaska Airlines\u2019 managing director of marketing and advertising, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

To book the discounted flights, head to Alaska’s\u00a0dedicated sale’s page\u00a0and enter a departure city in the lower 48 states and a destination of either Fairbanks or Anchorage. Make sure the departure and return dates are between January 13 and February 12. The discount code BOREALIS must also be in the promo field. Then pack your best parka, and get ready to see one of the most dazzling natural spectacles in the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
