Bowman’s Travel Brief: Book Your Solar Eclipse Trip Now
27.02.2024 - 20:22 / travelpulse.com / Spring Break / Eric Bowman / Airlines
On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will sweep across areas of North America.
The next one won’t be visible from the United States until August 23, 2044.
No wonder some flights are already selling out for US airlines. Delta Air Lines is even offering a special solar eclipse flight that chases the path of totality from Austin to Detroit.
Texas has the most options for the longest eclipse viewing, but there are plenty of places in the US worth traveling to for this big event in 2024.
Some of the major cities within that path include Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin in Texas, Cleveland and Toledo in Ohio, Indianapolis, Indiana, Little Rock, Arkansas, and Rochester, Syracuse, and Buffalo in New York.
April 8 falls on a Monday this year, so make a long weekend out of this.
It’s also right around Spring Break trips for many Americans. The week of April 1 is expected to be the busiest week of Spring Break, but these major cities in the path of totality will no doubt see an increase in people out and about the weekend leading up to the big eclipse.
Do you plan to travel to view the total solar eclipse?

Checking Your Bags Will Now Cost More if You Fly With These U.S. Airlines
Checking a bag when flying with several U.S. airlines is, once again, getting more expensive. It’s been about five years since the major full-service U.S. carriers collectively raised checked bag fees to $30 and $40 for the first and second checked bags, respectively. Now, some airlines are back at it, making it costlier for passengers to access the plane’s cargo hold.
