Northern Lights help

[jpgreenwood]

The wife is keen to see the Northern Lights somewhere and to travel. We went to Iceland a couple of years back on a TUI break for 3 nights, with all the tours included. Unfortunately we didnt see any lights, but did enjoy the sightseeing tours.
Is there a budget friendly way of going north Norway/Finland , and seeing the NL, flying from Newcastle or Manchester? Only looking for a 3-4 night break on a budget around January February. Thanks all.

The best thing to do is go on skyscanner for flights then booking.com or Airbnb for the accommodation. It's difficult to recommend places without knowing an actual budget. you could probably get to Tromso and find basic accommodation for around £800-900 for the pair of you before spends. Does that count as budget?

Also consider Northern Iceland, Flights to Akureyi are cheap, and accommodation can be reasonable. We had a great time in Iceland staying in a cabin 20 mins from Reykjavik and would love to go back, but it's not cheap, and you have to drop lucky with the lights. We only got them one night in 3. Northern Iceland may be more affordable and give better views with less light pollution
