EasyJet pilot did 360 turn so passengers could watch 'incredible' Northern Lights over UK

An easyJet pilot tweaked his flight route so that passengers could get an 'incredible' view of the Northern Lights as they appeared over the UK this week.

The Met Office had alerted Brits that on Monday the Northern Lights would be visible from northern areas of England - further south than the usual UK destinations where you can see the Aurora Borealis.

The easyJet pilot flying from Reykjavik back to Manchester decided to turn 360 degrees over the ocean so that all passengers on board could view the spectacular phenomenon, reports Manchester Evening News.
