Red-eye flights tips
Here are some tips and tricks for your red-eye flight to make sure you arrive at your destination feeling well-rested and full of energy.
👕 Comfortable clothing
We understand it's important to look sharp during you're business meeting but leave your work attire in your case during your overnight flight and fly in comfortable clothing. This could include a baggy t-shirt, sweatpants, jumper or shorts. You'll be asleep in no time! Zzzz Zzzz!
🎧 Accessories
To make your red eye flight more comfortable, consider packing a few essential accessories. A sleep mask and travel pillow can help you fall asleep faster, while a warm blanket - either your own or one provided by the airline - will keep you cosy in the often chilly cabin. Noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs are also great for blocking out distractions and getting some much-needed rest.
💺 Seating
There's nothing worse than being interrupted while sleeping - so we recommend you book a window seat as it will reduce the risk of other passengers waking you up. At the window seat, you can control the window shutters - this way you can block out any sunlight if you're trying to sleep.
