Totality at 35,000 Feet: A £3 Award Flight to Catch the Solar Eclipse
A Points Guy writer uses 14,000 Avios plus a £2.50 fee to fly BA 2644 from London to Malaga, refines the plan after realizing totality wouldn’t be on the initial route, and experiences a roughly 90-second total solar eclipse from 35,000 feet with fellow passengers cheering as the moon’s shadow sweeps by; the budget-friendly adventure costs only a few dollars and points and leaves him planning a 2027 eclipse chase.
