When I moved back to the US from Budapest, the last leg was Heathrow to SeaTac via the Great Circle route at night ... and the aurora was visible at eye level outside the aircraft for almost the entire flight.

People were all asleep, and I was standing looking out the portal on the door, watching the aurora for hours.

It's the only time I have seen it.
