You can also put in a city name in this link, and you'll find out how long it will last in different locations:

Note that in cities like Waco, that will get 4+ minutes of total eclipse, hotels and other places to stay (such as Airbnb) have extreme rates, if they even have availability. A Hampton Inn-type property is going for $2-3000/night.
If you want to experience the eclipse, but don't mind missing ~30 seconds, my suggestion would be to book something in Georgetown. The last I checked, rates were still mostly normal.
Perhaps we can convince
wakesetter93 to take his boat out on one of the lakes during the totality
recently cnn had a story talking about hotel bookings along thr route.
because the total eclipse in the afternoon instead of early morning folks who want to see it could stay some where outside the totality zone and turn drive and enter it. For e ample a place like Memphis you can drive 55 north or 40 west to get into it or other routes in between.
thr other questions….what airlines intentionally schedules flights. You can fly out of Dallas on American or southwest to CLEVRLAND or Buffalo is fly inside totality.
