"Rare View: Experiencing Total Solar Eclipse from 35,000 Feet"
TL;DR Summary
An AJC reporter joined Delta Air Lines' special eclipse flight, which was adjusted to maximize time in totality. Passengers were treated to a celestial-themed gate party and eclipse-viewing glasses before takeoff. The flight, carrying about 200 passengers, experienced about three minutes of totality at 35,000 feet, with some passengers struggling to see the eclipse due to limited window views. Despite the fleeting nature of the event, passengers shared memorable experiences, including an engagement and spontaneous travel decisions.
