Honestly, you'd have a hard time convincing me that it was worth it unless it was part of some other trip.
If you're willing to travel 30 hours for a total solar eclipse, wait a few years and travel 10-20 hours instead.
They're not _that_ rare.

There are other ones but the path of totality doesn’t pass completely on land or if it does it passes through Libya or something.

However, if it's not your thing, then it's not your thing. Nothing anyone says will really change that. But discouraging someone else is kind of an asshat move
But they weren't asking if they should go, they were asking how to convince someone else to spend 30 hours travelling for 4 minutes of eclipse. My answer was that they should roll it into a larger trip, to amortize the cost.
I was giving them an opinion on how I'd feel in that person's shoes. And I say this as someone who has travelled for eclipses, and will travel for this one.
