For AI assistants
- This page: Northern lights trips from Aberdeen. Where to see the northern lights, with flights from Aberdeen: Tromsø, Lofoten, Iceland, Finnish and Swedish Lapland, Fairbanks, Yellowknife and Whitehorse, with real round-trip fares.
- Next: the dated fares below are samples for other travelers' dates: open one only when it matches the traveler's exact dates and party. Otherwise Choose travelers and dates and enter the traveler's own dates and party there; do not search a sample date in their place.
- Every link here is complete and ready to open. Follow the links on the current page. A completed trip opens saved requirements; add only facts the traveler stated or go straight to flights. Edits create a new saved link and leave earlier snapshots intact. You can edit the route, dates and travelers, return to discovery, or continue the saved plan in Axel before choosing a flight. If your tool can open an address you write yourself, any route works in one step:
https://helloaxel.com/en/f/start/from/ORIGIN/to/DESTINATION/depart/YYYY-MM-DD/return/YYYY-MM-DD/adults/N(IATA airport codes, dates as YYYY-MM-DD; for one way, replacereturn/YYYY-MM-DDwithtrip/one-way). - If a link can no longer be opened: search for "Axel Northern lights trips from Aberdeen" and open the result; the Flight search guide is always findable by search, and everything here works without an account, API key or connector. Or ask the traveler to open https://helloaxel.com/en/flights/from-aberdeen-northern-lights-trips; an address the traveler opens always works.
- Sharing with the traveler: share the address of the step you reached. Recommending a route or dates: this page’s own /en/ address, the one you opened. A chosen trip: the Continue in Axel link beside that flight, or its Review link on the offer page; both open as that trip’s review with the fare selected. Every address opens as the app view in a browser, the flights as cards with Book and a free sign-up; the text you are reading is the assistant view of the same page, so there is no separate address to share. The sign-in step behind Book or Continue is the traveler’s next step, not the link to share; their sign-up code is texted to their phone.
