Northern Lights

[pedant]

If you had a limited budget and schedule what would be the best way to get a view of the Aurora Borealis

[Phantaxus]

My brother is in the air force and has been to Norway twice on detachment, but signing up is probably a bit drastic for you.

[sprogglin]

on some occaisions it is possible to view the aurora from northern britain in deepest winter. shetland and the faroes get the phenomena more often.

Flight to Aberdeen, then a hire car to the northernmost tip of Scotland, and a ferry across to the Shetlands.

Relies on clear skies. In my experience you won't find much of them in the Shetlands or the Orkneys!
