Red-Eye Flights Tips

Land feeling well-rested and ready to tackle the day after following these red-eye flight tips:


Wear comfortable clothing 👕

If you're travelling for business, keep your suit packed neatly in its case. Wearing something comfortable like joggers and a sweatshirt will make it easier to fall asleep. The last thing you want is tight clothes and itchy fabrics keeping you awake.


Choose a window seat 🪟

If you plan on sleeping throughout your flight, choosing a window seat is in your best interest. This way, if people in your row need to get up to use the toilet, you won't be disturbed. This also means you can control the window shutters, so you won't get woken up when the sun starts to rise.


Eat light 🍙

A light meal before your red-eye flight means you won't be hungry before falling asleep. However, it also gives your stomach time to settle, something that takes longer if you eat a large dinner.


What to bring on a red-eye flight? 📖

  • Sleep mask
  • Travel pillow
  • Blanket
  • A book
  • Noise-cancelling headphones
