If seeing the Northern Lights is on your bucket list, now may be the time to book your trip.

These fare prices probably won't be around for long, so hurry up and book your trip ASAP.
Scandinavian Airlines, also known as SAS, is offering roundtrip flights starting at $447 from New York to Northern Europe, per the airlines' website. According to National Geographic, the best time to see the Northern Lights in Norway, Finland, and Northern Sweden is between mid-September to late March. There's no time like the present to book the trip of your dreams. The low-cost fares are good on outbound travel from the United States to Scandinavia on Thursdays and Fridays. For return travel from Scandinavia to the United States, the budget-friendly fares should be booked on the following Sunday or Monday, according to SAS.
For example, you can fly from Newark-Liberty Airport to Copenhagen, Denmark for $451.81 roundtrip. These specific flights are for travel on Tuesday, Nov. 8 and returning on Sunday, Nov. 11. It's a quick trip, but there are plenty of other fares in the $200 and $300 price range for you to choose from in November and December. From New York, you can also fly to Stockholm, Sweden starting at $448 roundtrip, as well as Oslo, Norway from $447 roundtrip, according to SAS.
Flights to see the Northern Lights start to tick up in price during the last two weeks of December. That's to be expected, of course, given that it's the holiday season for many.

Sure, you can look at pictures on the internet, but it's just not the same. Think of all of the beautiful pink, green, yellow, blue, and violet-colored lights you can post to the 'Gram. Your friends will be so envious of your travels. Although, Scandinavian Airlines' cheap flights make it possible for almost anybody to consider taking the trip. When opportunity presents itself, my advice to you is to take full advantage. Now go pack your bags.
