View Date:2024-12-24 09:53:46
Good morning. This is Betty Lin-Fisher with today's The Daily Money.
A large swath of the country from Texas to Maine is preparing to welcome crowds for the total solar eclipse on April 8. Locals and travelers are expected to swarm areas in the path of the eclipse to look up to the skies. But much of the path of totality has a 60% to 80% chance of cloud cover, threatening the view of the eclipse.
So what about seeing it from above the clouds?
Travelers flying in planes might have a better chance of seeing the eclipse and several airlines are advertising the perk. But a great view is not a guarantee, as Zach Wichter reports. Read more here.
