When most folks find themselves with extra airline miles, they may dream of a trip to Europe or a holiday on a tropical beach. I used mine to fly to a remote place with temperatures of minus-15 degrees, rent an ageing cargo van, and drive around at 2am yelling at the sky - as one does. I d been plotting my socially-distant trip to chase the Northern Lights for about three months. I scored a great deal on Alaska Airlines in December and booked my tickets to Fairbanks, Alaska. I planned an excursion around the time of the March equinox. The Northern Lights tend to be especially active around the spring and fall equinoxes thanks to something known as the Russell-McPherron Effect.
