Airbnbs and similar offerings are booked solid in and around the path of totality for Monday's total solar eclipse, per estimates from short-term rental analytics platform AirDNA.
- In fact, mapping out fully-booked cities paints an almost perfect picture of the path the eclipse will take as it crosses America from Texas to Maine.
The big picture: Millions of travelers are expected to descend on cities and towns in the path of totality.
- Hotels, short-term rentals and even campsites have been booked for weeks, if not months.
How it works: AirDNA collects daily booking data from over 10 million short-term rental properties worldwide.
- It looks at properties listed on both Airbnb and Vrbo, but de-duplicates listings posted on both sites "to give a true size of the industry," the company says.
The bottom line: If you haven't already made your eclipse plans — well, good luck.
