Airlines offer solar eclipse flights from Dallas

If you're still looking for a cool vantage point for April's total solar eclipse , the sky awaits.

The big picture: Delta Air Lines is among several carriers offering flights that will align with the timing and path of totality , when the Moon covers the entirety of the Sun except for the Sun's corona.

The intrigue: Last week, Delta announced a "path-of-totality flight" from Austin to Detroit for April 8, but it sold out within 24 hours.

• A newly added option , Delta Flight 1010, will depart DFW Airport at 12:30pm and head to Detroit.
• The airline says it chose a larger aircraft for the DFW-Detroit flight to accommodate demand. There will be 42 Comfort+ seats and 132 Main Cabin seats.

Yes, but: It won't be cheap. Basic seats for the one-way fare from DFW to Detroit were already sold out on Monday.

• Main cabin seats were over $730 .

State of the Sun: The path of totality will stretch 115 miles from Mexico to Texas, to the northeastern U.S., to Canada.

• Dallas will be the largest city on the path of totality, which is projected to start at 1:40pm and end by 1:44pm.

Zoom out: Southwest Airlines says Flight 1252, from Dallas Love Field to Pittsburgh, is among three flights with the " greatest likelihood " of overlapping with the total solar eclipse. Fares were around $437 on Monday.

• Delta's Flight 924, from Los Angeles to DFW Airport, will also overlap with a portion of the eclipse.

Be smart: The local flights in the path of totality are likely to sell out quickly, so book soon. And buy your solar eclipse glasses before they become harder to find .
