Well, BA119 took off about an hour late which should give the passengers more time at greater altitude to see the red moon from this evening's partial eclipse. https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/ba119#214ec914

The discussions about the subjective nature of a solar eclipse vs the objective nature of a lunar eclipse are especially relevant if you find yourself in an aircraft travelling at 550mph, as no advantage will be given in terms of duration for this particular celestial event.

Compare to solar eclipses where strategically flown aircraft can extend totality by some margin: https://www.space.com/42768-total-solar-eclipse-july-2019-ai...
