Total solar eclipse flights take off from Dallas Love Field and DFW Airport

The intrigue: Last week, Delta announced a "path-of-totality flight" from Austin to Detroit for April 8, but it sold out within 24 hours.

• A newly added option, Delta Flight 1010, will depart DFW Airport at 12:30pm and head to Detroit.
• The airline says it chose a larger aircraft for the DFW-Detroit flight to accommodate demand. There will be 42 Comfort+ seats and 132 Main Cabin seats.

Yes, but: It won't be cheap. Basic seats for the one-way fare from DFW to Detroit were already sold out on Monday.

• Main cabin seats were over $730.

State of the Sun: The path of totality will stretch 115 miles from Mexico to Texas, to the northeastern U.S., to Canada.

• Dallas will be the largest city on the path of totality, which is projected to start at 1:40pm and end by 1:44pm.

Zoom out: Southwest Airlines says Flight 1252, from Dallas Love Field to Pittsburgh, is among three flights with the "greatest likelihood" of overlapping with the total solar eclipse. Fares were around $437 on Monday.

• Delta's Flight 924, from Los Angeles to DFW Airport, will also overlap with a portion of the eclipse.

Be smart: The local flights in the path of totality are likely to sell out quickly, so book soon. And buy your solar eclipse glasses before they become harder to find.
