"High-Flying Disappointment: Passengers Miss Solar Eclipse on Delta's Special Flight"

Passengers who paid $1,150 for Delta's special eclipse flight from Austin to Dallas and Detroit were left disappointed as they missed out on seeing the full spectacle of the total solar eclipse, with many only catching a "sliver" of the action due to the angle of the sun from 33,000 feet. Despite the letdown, some passengers still reported a positive experience, and one couple even got engaged midflight. The 2024 total solar eclipse was watched by at least 30 million people in the US, and the next total solar eclipse is not expected until March 30, 2033.
