The most recent total eclipse in these parts took place in 1806 (Ohio became a state in 1803), and the next one won't be until 2444.

Enjoy!!!

The next one will be in 2044, so 20 years from now...not 420 years! ;)

I emailed Delta, but got a useless response. Hopefully someone here has better answers to my questions:

• How will it work for people not in window seats on the eclipse flights, DL1218 or DL1010?
• What are the logistics of the other flights Delta has with prime eclipse-viewing opportunities, say DL 2869, LAX-SAT?

Thanks.

I have been mystified what people in non-window seats expect to get out of this! I have a window seat and definitely won’t cooperate in any scheme to rotate people during the few minutes of totality. At best the person in the middle seat will sometimes be able to see past the window person to look straight out over the wing while the eclipse is overhead out of view.

PSA: a window seat in economy is open on the AUS flight.

Is anyone on DL1001 SLC-SAT? This is one of the alternatives that was mentioned in the first comm from Delta. I'll be hanging at the SLC club beforehand.

Trying to even book a ticket on that flight regardless of seat, doesn't seem possible.

I just don't see DL1001 being in the right area, at right time. Just about as close as can get though.

Actually just saw a different window seat open up on that flight, but it disappeared while I was trying to do the booking
