Many astronomy events will grace the sky this year, but the total solar eclipse is hands down the highlight for those even marginally interested in celestial happenings. On April 8, 2024, the total solar eclipse will cross North America, and many are trying to get in on the action (though the options for where to stay along the path of totality is already limited).
If you’re looking to catch a glimpse of the total solar eclipse in a seat up in the air, Delta Airlines has you covered with a special eclipse viewing flight that can be booked for April 8. This special eclipse viewing will be a flight from Austin to Detroit that will maximize the time within the eclipse’s path.
Delta flight 1218 will operate on an A22-300, offering maximum and premium viewing with its extra-large windows. The flight will depart from Austin at 12:15 PM and land in Detroit at 4:20 PM. The flight will be timed to give those passengers on board the optimal opportunity to witness the total solar eclipse at its peak.
If Delta flight 1218 isn’t prime for you, Delta has five other solar eclipse prime viewing flights on April 8:
If you want to view the total solar eclipse elsewhere, the eclipse will cross Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

A major winter storm has closed Yosemite National Park and is bringing other parts of the Sierra Nevada region to a full stop. Meteorologists are forecasting some areas of the region, including Lake Tahoe, to receive at least 12 feet of snow, or higher, as the system slowly moves through mountainous regions. Other parts of the region including Mammoth Lakes, the Sierra National Forest, and Yosemite National Park receive severe winter storms and advise the public to stay off the roads. The National Weather Service (NWS) has already placed most of the region on an Avalanche Watch, Avalanche Warning, and Blizzard Warning through at least March 3 at 10:00 am PST. Yosemite National Park officials have already closed the park, and are asking all visitors currently in the park to «leave no later than noon» today, according to the park's website. “A significant winter storm will impact much of the West heading into the weekend, including dangerous, blizzard conditions for the Sierra Nevada,” the NWS shared in an advisory. In response to the upcoming storm, airlines have begun issuing travel waivers to accommodate the rebooking of passengers. United Airlines has issued a travel waiver for several airports in the region including Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (ASE) in Aspen, Colorado; Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) near Vail, Colorado; Yampa Valley Regional Airport (HDN) near Steamboat Springs, Colorado; and Jackson Hole Airport (JAC) in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
