赏月航班初步设定是从9月26日到28日，每天的18时到24时之间起航.在飞行过程中，游客可以欣赏到中秋月光.今年的行程预计会更加特别，在三天的节日中，中国会同时出现月食和超级月亮的罕见现象
Moon-viewing flights are flights that depart between 6 pm and 12 pm from Sept 26 to 28. During the journey, tourists can enjoy the moonlight. This year is expected to be special, as during the three-day festival both a supermoon and a lunar eclipse will be visible in China.
超级月亮是指月亮距离地球近距离的状态.此时月亮直径将会比正常的大14倍.据美国国家航空航天局称，超级月亮是很罕见的.上次的超级月亮和月食相继出现是在30年前.而下次汇聚将会是在2033年。
A supermoon occurs when the moon comes closest to earth. The diameter will appear 14 percent larger than normal. According to NASA, the United States space agency, a supermoon is very rare. Last time a supermoon and lunar eclipse occurred near one another was more than 30 years ago. The next convergence will be in 2033.

"The number of people who used the check-in service in advance doubled from last year. About 60 percent of them chose window seats." Yan added that window seats have sold out for flights in high demand.
