Red-Eye Flights Tips

Not having enough sleep is the last problem you need when flying on a red-eye flight. To avoid feeling restless and exhausted when you land, follow our tips and tricks below - you'll feel energised and ready to start the day as soon as you land at your destination!

Comfortable Clothing 👕

We know looking smart for your business trip is a top priority; however, when flying on a red-eye flight, we suggest keeping the suit in your suitcase and instead wearing loose, comfortable clothing such as a t-shirt, hoodie, sweatpants and shorts. You'll be asleep in no time!

Accessories 🎧

To help you get to sleep even quicker, we recommend bringing a sleep mask, a travel pillow and a warm blanket on board with you. If the airline you're flying with doesn't provide in-flight entertainment, it's a good idea to have your favourite TV shows, movies or podcasts ready on your electronic devices as these may help you relax.

Seating 💺

There's nothing worse than finally getting to sleep on your red eye flight and then being woken up by another passenger who needs to get up from their seat and squeeze past you - this will likely happen if you book a middle or aisle seat on any red eye flight. To avoid this, we recommend booking a window seat so you can sleep soundly knowing you won't be woken up by those around you.
