All of the best total solar eclipse deals to take advantage of
A total eclipse of the sun is set to plunge a stretch of North America into darkness on 8 April, with millions of spectators across the US hoping to experience the celestial phenomenon.
There should be up to four minutes of midday darkness in Texas and other spots, but almost everyone in North America is guaranteed at least a partial eclipse, weather permitting.
