Flights to Fairbanks

Fairbanks flight - see the Northern Lights

With cheap flights to Fairbanks, Alaska you get only five months of summer and the winters are long and dark. Fairbanks not on top of your favourite places to visit list? Well it should be if you’ve always wanted to see the Aurora Borealis! The Northern Lights are an incredible phenomenon caused by solar winds in the earth’s upper atmosphere. These amazing, undulating ribbons of light shimmer and blaze in the night sky for more than 200 days of the year for Fairbanks visitors. If you can’t stand the freezing temperatures outside, you can visit the Chena Hot Springs Resort with Fairbanks flights and bathe in steamy luxury while watching the greatest light show from an ‘aurorium’. Just south of the Arctic circle, Fairbanks is right in the middle of this oil rich state and known fondly as 'the golden heart of Alaska'. Not just for being at the centre of things but also for the gold that was discovered here in 1902 and tours of the El Dorado gold mine are available in summer.
