Following the path...
https://www.msn.com/en-in/travel/news/southwest-flights-aligned-with-april-8-solar-eclipse-s-path-of-totality-full-list/ar-BB1kpYy4 Passengers can now seize a one-of-a-kind chance to witness the highly anticipated total solar eclipse from the skies, courtesy of Southwest Airlines. The airlines has announced that on April 8, they will be offering a number of flights that are meticulously timed to coincide with the peak of the eclipse, along the path of totality, allowing viewers an amazing opportunity to witness the event mid-air. Southwest Flight #1252 is scheduled to take off from Dallas Love Field at 12:40 p.m. CDT, bound for Pittsburgh. Southwest Flight #1721 is scheduled to take off from Austin at 12:55 p.m. CDT, with Indianapolis as its final destination. These flights, perfectly aligned with the trajectory of the eclipse, will allow passengers to enjoy the view at an altitude of 30,000 feet. Previous Message Previous Message I live about 1.5 miles from the dead center of totality path, so I am having a party in my back yard. I have 9 people coming from as far away as Seattle and Portland. These people are college friends
