Hi, it's me booked on a flight out of MEL 25 Sept.
I found this just a few minutes ago from your flight:
Interesting feedback from one of the guests on board the competitor’s aurora flight out of Perth over the weekend.
“Good Afternoon
Thanks for the email regarding the flight in September but I went this Saturday the 8th from Perth and was totally disappointed and disgusted. They kept announcing that there were some lights but didn’t see anything. I was economy and first half of the flight was sitting in an aisle seat next to a couple who hogged the window and I couldn’t see anything, second half of the flight when we had to swap seats I was then put in the middle and another passenger was on the window and again hogged the window when I asked her to move a little so I could see she gave me a mouthful saying she had been waiting for hours to move so she was going to do what she wanted. Very rude indeed.”
It’s no wonder I decided with my own flight here at Quo Vadis Holidays we will NOT to try and fill the plane and NOT ask guests to rotate seats halfway PLUS why we decided to wait until the equinox week when there is a MUCH greater probability of decent auroras.
It certainly pays to shop around and make sure you book with a company that’s trying to maximise the guest experience rather than maximise the size of their profits...

So we are booked into row 55 (yes Ekkk) seats A & C, we do not move/share with anyone else. I swap with hubby if/when I want to, so leaning over each other will not be a problem.
I emailed asking about photography, and what camera's I have, great reply and list of items that will make my photography better on the night, thou they will have a few photography experts on hand, I want to be well informed prior and be ready.
Somewhere else I read about wrapping a blanket around your head to black out the ambient light, I intend to build a "tent" around us to keep the light out.
And here is my "practice window" for setting up the camera and how best to have it on the night.
Yes, I would have made a fabulous boy scout - be prepared.
