Delta Air Lines is offering a special flight on April 8th for those interested in seeing the solar eclipse from cruising altitude. The flight between Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) will provide a prime viewing opportunity.
On April 8th when the moon passes between the sun and Earth, the sun will be blocked for a short period of time. This event will be visible to more than 31 million Americans in Texas, the Midwest, and parts of the East Coast. Those on flight DL1218 will have the best seats for the eclipse onboard an Airbus A220-300. This aircraft was specifically selected due to its extra large windows.
Eric Beck, Delta’s Managing Director of Domestic Network Planning, said:
This flight is the result of significant collaboration and exemplifies the close teamwork Delta is known for — from selecting an aircraft with larger windows to determining the exact departure time from Austin and the experiences at the gate and in the air. Thanks to teams across the company, the idea of viewing a total eclipse from the air will become a reality for our customers.”
