Red-Eye Flights Tips
To prepare yourself for the day you arrive at your destination, you'll want to get plenty of sleep, which can be difficult to achieve on a plane. Here are some tips and tricks for your red-eye flight to ensure 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 during your overnight flight leave your work attire in your case 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
Why not bring a sleep mask, a warm blanket and a travel pillow with you on-board to help you fall asleep during the flight? You can also bring a small teddy with you on the flight - it will feel just like home and get you to sleep faster.
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. As you are sat on the window seat you can control the window shutters - this way you can block out any sunlight if you're trying to sleep.
