Red-Eye Flights Tips
The last thing any passenger needs when flying red-eye flights is to be uncomfortable and exhausted when arriving at their destination early in the morning. Our helpful tips below will show you how to settle in comfortably for your overnight flight with Qantas.
Comfortable Clothing 👕
If you're travelling for business, it's a given that you'll want to be looking smart and presentable for your trip, but sleeping in a suit isn't exactly comfortable. This is why you'll want to keep the smart wear in your suitcase and instead wear loose, comfortable clothing on your red eye flight, such as a t-shirt, hoodie, sweatpants or shorts. You'll be asleep in no time!
Accessories 🎧
Bringing accessories such as a sleep mask and travel pillow will certainly help you get to sleep quickly. We also recommend bringing a warm blanket onboard or using a blanket provided by the airline, as the cabin can often get chilly. You could also pack headphones to block out any noise.
Seating 💺
Interrupted sleep? No thanks! To make sure you get as much uninterrupted sleep as possible, it's a great idea to book a window seat instead of an aisle seat, as this means you won't be disturbed if another passenger needs to get past you during the flight. You'll also have full control over the window shutters, so you won't be woken up by the sunrise.
