But it’s not just airlines with flights through the path of totality that are seeing eclipse-related travel demand pick up. Alaska Airlines is seeing extra demand for flights to Austin, Dallas and San Antonio, Texas, as well as Cleveland – destinatio­ns that should have good opportunit­ies for eclipse viewing on the ground. An Alaska spokespers­on told USA TODAY the airline previously added an extra flight to Mazatlán, Mexico, which is expected to have the longest duration totality during this eclipse. According to the spokespers­on, there’s especially high demand for tickets to Mazatlán too.
