Southwest Airlines and Omni Hotels & Resorts just launched an exciting "Solarbration" sweepstakes, offering enthusiasts a chance to witness the upcoming total solar eclipse uniquely.
The sweepstakes, running between February 26 and March 11, invites participants to visit the campaign's official website for a shot at winning a remarkable prize package.
Witness the Eclipse Up In the Sky
Two lucky winners and their guests will have the opportunity to experience the total solar eclipse from the comfort of a Southwest flight predicted to be in the eclipse's direct path.
Winners will enjoy a two-night stay in specially designed guest rooms inspired by the celestial event, courtesy of Omni Hotels in departure cities like Dallas and Austin, as well as arrival cities such as Pittsburgh and Indianapolis.
Select Southwest flights, including Flight #1252 departing from Dallas to Pittsburgh and Flight #1721 departing from Austin to Indianapolis, have been identified as offering passengers the best views of the eclipse.

"The whole world will be looking up on April 8, and we're over the moon to leverage our place in the sky by extending an opportunity to observe this phenomenon on several Southwest flights in the path of the eclipse," noted Julia Melle, Director of Brand and Content for Southwest Airlines.
“We have network and schedule planners, and they determined the Southwest flights that have the greatest likelihood of offering customers on board the best view,” Melle told AdWeek.
Meanwhile, Omni Hotels and Resorts Director of Brand Management and Marketing Colleen Buckley highlighted the significance of experiences and hospitality in their partnership with Southwest.
"Our partnership with Southwest Airlines allows us to share Omni's genuine hospitality and connect with their customers through the Solarbration sweepstakes," Buckley concluded.
