These Southwest flights will let you see the next solar eclipse in 2024

Here are the flights to and from Texas that will experience the 2024 total solar eclipse.

DALLAS — Texans throughout the state were captivated by the 'Ring of Fire' annular eclipse that came and went Saturday morning.

North Texas only experienced 80% to 85% viewing coverage, but the 100% coverage path across Texas included Midland-Odessa, San Antonio and Corpus Christi. 

A total solar eclipse will happen on April 8, 2024 and its path crosses directly over Dallas-Fort Worth.

Southwest Airlines shared a post on Instagram talking about a shot of a total eclipse caught by photographer Jon Carmichael in 2017. The airline noted that a number of its flights would be like Carmichael's in 2017, giving customers a unique experience of witnessing the eclipse at such a high altitude.
