On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will sweep across areas of North America.

The next one won’t be visible from the United States until August 23, 2044.

No wonder some flights are already selling out for US airlines. Delta Air Lines is even offering a special solar eclipse flight that chases the path of totality from Austin to Detroit.

Texas has the most options for the longest eclipse viewing, but there are plenty of places in the US worth traveling to for this big event in 2024.

Some of the major cities within that path include Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin in Texas, Cleveland and Toledo in Ohio, Indianapolis, Indiana, Little Rock, Arkansas, and Rochester, Syracuse, and Buffalo in New York.

April 8 falls on a Monday this year, so make a long weekend out of this.

It’s also right around Spring Break trips for many Americans. The week of April 1 is expected to be the busiest week of Spring Break, but these major cities in the path of totality will no doubt see an increase in people out and about the weekend leading up to the big eclipse.

Do you plan to travel to view the total solar eclipse?
