Alaska Airlines Delayed a Flight – For AN INCREDIBLE Reason [Watch]

I have never had the pleasure of seeing an eclipse, except on YouTube and such, but some lucky passengers on an Alaska Airlines flight had the chance to see it without obstruction from a fantastic viewpoint – thanks to some quick thinking Alaska Airlines personnel[1]:

There are few experiences more beautiful and awe-inspiring than seeing a solar eclipse. It happens relatively rarely, and when it does, it’s truly a sight to behold.

And that’s exactly why this Alaska Airlines crew delayed their flight. They wanted passengers to see the majesty of the eclipse while they were in the sky. Fortunately, their efforts paid off. Check out the incredible footage below.

Just gorgeous. I won’t lie and say I am not jealous of their lucky opportunity. Kudos to Alaska Airlines for making this happen for their passengers.
