An A380 Singapore Airlines plane flew straight into the oncoming path of an electrical storm before narrowly missing a stray bolt of lightning.

Passengers aboard the long-haul flight from London to Singapore woke up gasping at the site of the frightening electrical storm shortly before the aircraft's arrival at Singapore airport.

It sent the stomachs of at least two passengers churning as they struggled to hold down their in-flight breakfast, which was served at the same point the storm engulfed the aircraft some 20,000 feet above sea level.

It was anything but a relaxing descent into Singapore for photographer Gary Brown and the passenger seated to his left in the aircraft's emergency exit row.

'I was sitting there capturing these photos and the person sitting next to me freaked out,' Mr Brown, 40, told Daily Mail Australia.

'To see lightning in the middle of the sky, surrounding the plane was gob-smacking.'

'Just the way these planes are designed to take all that electrical power, enough to light up a whole city, is unbelievable.'

'It was, although quite scary, very very pretty,' he added.
