Some adventurous travelers are skipping the crowds on the ground to watch Wednesday’s solar eclipse from thousands of feet in the air, thanks to a handful of specially arranged airline and charter flights.
Brussels Airlines is flying 100 people over France to view the partial eclipse, Aerospace Global News reported. The flight, in partnership with the Urania Public Observatory in Switzerland, is sold out. Tickets were about $350 a person.
The aisle seats will be left open to give people more space to see out the windows. The four-hour experience will include about two hours in the sky.
