Delta Announces Second Flight To View Eclipse In Path Of Totality
26.02.2024 - 23:28 / forbes.com / Delta Comfort
If you missed your chance to book Delta’s special flight to view the eclipse in the path of totality, there is some good news. Delta Air Lines has announced a second special flight, this time out of Dallas Fort Worth (DFW). Here are the details on how to view this unique experience.
When there is a total solar eclipse, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, which blocks the face of the sun. To see the total eclipse, you need to be located in the path of totality, which is where the moon’s shadow crosses over the surface of the Earth. The path of totality is approximately 70 miles wide and about 10,000 miles long.
Those not on the path of totality cannot see the total solar eclipse, which means the moon isn’t completely blocking the sun in that location.
On Monday, April 08, 2024, a total solar eclipse can be witnessed (weather permitting) in certain parts of Mexico, the United States, and Canada, moving from west to east. Visit NASA’s website for a full map and more information on specific times to watch the eclipse.
For those who want to take a closer look at the skies, Delta is offering a special flight from DFW to Detroit (DTW). Delta Flight 1010 will depart from Dallas at 12:30 p.m. CST and land in Detroit at 4:20 p.m. EST.
Delta also offered a flight from Austin (AUS) to Detroit (DTW), Delta Flight 1218, scheduled to arrive at the same time as flight 1010.
The DFW to DTW flight will be on a larger aircraft, an A321neo, to allow more people the chance to witness the event. This aircraft includes 20 first-class seats, 42 Delta Comfort+ seats, and 132 main cabin seats.
Tickets are on sale now via Delta’s website.
