Delta 'Eclipse Flights' Leave Passengers Disappointed, Largely Unable to See Solar Eclipse Despite Pricey Tickets

Delta sold $1,150 "eclipse flights" promising views of the full solar eclipse, but passengers didn't see much
Once above the clouds, the angle of the sun meant many passengers only saw a "sliver" of the eclipse
Some passengers lied along seats trying to catch a glimpse, but most said they wouldn't repeat the experience
Prior to boarding, Delta held eclipse-themed celebrations, served themed snacks, and cleaned windows
One passenger proposed to his girlfriend midflight, landing happily engaged, but most were disappointed
