Today (May 29, 2017): Top 10\u00a0most beautiful flights in the world.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

There\u2019s no denying that our planet looks amazing from above. Observing majestic mountain peaks, thundering waterfalls, and deep canyons from a bird’s-eye perspective\u00a0makes you appreciate even more the vast and often remote wilderness areas left on our world. So be sure to\u00a0request a window seat on one of the 10 following flights, which I consider to be the most scenic journeys on the planet.<\/p>\n

There is more\u00a0information (with a Youtube per flight) below the slide show.\u00a0Think I missed one? Share your favorite scenic flight\u00a0in the comments section<\/strong>, or take my poll<\/strong>\u00a0below!<\/p>\n

10. FLIGHT TO THE SOUTHERN AURORA WITH AIR NEW ZEALAND<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In April 2017, the\u00a0first ever commercial charter flight to view the Southern Lights took of from Dunedin on New Zealand’s South Island. The Boeing 767-300ER, operated by Air New Zealand<\/a>, had more than\u00a0130 photographers and aurora enthusiasts on board and traveled south to the Antarctic circle to see the natural lights phenomenon up close.\u00a0The eight-hour flight crossed the international dateline twice, with the plane flying in large circles so that passengers on both sides could get a good view of the spectacular lights. The special Aurora Australis mission was the bold idea of Otago Museum director Dr Ian Griffin, but caught the imagination of aurora photographers with the flight selling out in less than a week, with some passengers even flying in from Australia, South Africa and Spain.\u00a0Organisers are hoping to\u00a0make the special flight\u00a0a yearly event.<\/p>\n
