If you’re going to see the total solar eclipse that will take place on April 8 or if you live along the path of totality, be prepared for delays and other obstacles while traveling, said the Federal Aviation Administration.
When combined with spring break holidays, the period of time across the eclipse is expected to be one of the busiest weeks of the season. Travelers who are along the path of totality—meaning that the sun will be fully eclipsed in the area—that stretches from Maine to Texas can expect limited airport parking and potential flight delays.
The FAA said that the busiest day to travel will be Thursday, April 4, with more than 50,000 flight expected to be in the skies. The next day, April 5, just shy of 49,000 flights will take off.
“Whether you are headed to the sun or headed to the solar eclipse, the FAA is working to make sure you get to your destinations safely,” the administration said in a statement.
