"High-Flying Eclipse Sightings: Airlines Capture Stunning Views and Missed Opportunities"

Delta Air Lines' special eclipse flight from Dallas to Detroit deviated from the path of totality due to air traffic control restrictions, causing passengers to miss a prime view of the total solar eclipse. The airline's Airbus A321neo flew in a circle at 33,000 feet to give both sides a look, but passengers didn't get the view they expected. Despite the disappointment, some passengers still enjoyed the experience, while others expressed frustration over the missed opportunity and financial investment.
