Airlines Offer Special Flights to View Eclipse, Overall Productivity Down

Southwest Airlines offered five flights today that provided customers with the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the solar eclipse throughout the US. All flights were sold out and included viewing glasses and cosmic cocktails. The demand for flights surged today. However, other industries expected to lose almost $700 million USD due to lower productivity today, as employees went outside to watch the skies.

  • Would you specifically book a flight just to view the eclipse? I find it quite excessive that demand for flights surged today just because of that.
  • Did you guys step out of work today to watch the eclipse? Did you notice people were distracted and less productive? I noticed people were pretty fixated on it, so I can believe today was less productive than usual.
