Sweepstakes winners can enjoy a unique eclipse experience with air travel and hotel stays
Southwest Airlines Co. in partnership with Omni Hotels & Resorts, announce a Solarbration sweepstakes with a chance for two lucky winners and their guest to receive a total eclipse experience*. Beginning today through March 11, 2024, enthusiasts can visit www.eclipsesweepstakes.com and enter for a chance to win a prize package that includes air travel on a flight predicted to be in the direct path of the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse.
To complete the Solarbration experience, winners will also stay in custom-designed guest rooms by Omni’s in-house interior design team. These rooms, inspired by this year’s most significant celestial event, are located at Omni Hotels in the departure cities of Dallas and Austin and the arrival cities of Pittsburgh and Indianapolis.
“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,” said Julia Melle, Director of Brand and Content for Southwest Airlines. “Connecting People to places and experiences is what we do best and rounding out this once-in-a-lifetime flight opportunity with a celestial stay at Omni Hotels aligns the stars for two lucky winners.”

We’re excited to offer the sweepstakes winners a unique and one-of-a-kind experience in our eclipse-themed Omni guest rooms. To commemorate this historic occasion, we’ll present Customers on select Southwest flights with co-branded eclipse-themed amenities and gift them top-tier in Omni’s new Select Guest Loyalty Program for 2024,” adds Buckley.
