What are Red Eye Flights?

Red eye flights, also referred to as overnight flights, are flights departing late at night and arriving early in the morning of the next day. The term 'red eye' originally comes from when passengers feel tired and get red eyes after travelling late at night or early in the morning. These types of flights are mostly used by business travellers who don't want to miss a day of work.

Tips

The last thing you need when arriving at your destination is to feel exhausted and drained from not getting enough sleep. Our tips below on making the most of your red eye flight will ensure you feel well-rested and ready for the day once you've landed at your destination.

Comfortable Clothing

Everybody loves to fly in style, but if you want to get plenty of sleep on your flight, you'll need to keep that suit tucked away in your suitcase. We recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing such as a hoodie, t-shirt, sweatpants or shorts. This will help you settle in for your flight.

Accessories

You can fall asleep a lot quicker if you bring a sleep mask and a travel pillow onto your flight with you. The cabin often gets chilly too so it's a great idea to bring a warm blanket with you or use a blanket provided by the airline.

Seating

Booking the window seat for your red eye flight means you'll have full control over the window shutters, so you can block the sun out during the sunrise. It also reduces the chances of you being woken up by other passengers as they won't need to squeeze past you to use the facilities onboard.

Eat Light

You may think eating a full, heavy meal will help you fall asleep faster on your red eye flight - this will actually do the complete opposite! A light meal is recommended and we also suggest avoiding fatty, oily foods to help your stomach settle before flying.
