What are red-eye flights?
A red eye flight is an overnight flight that departs late at night (usually between 10pm and 1am) and arrives early the next morning, typically between 5am and 7am.
They get their name from the tired, red eyes many passengers end up with after flying through the night. But for lots of travellers, red eyes are a smart way to make the most of their time.
You can finish your day, fly while you sleep, and land ready for whateverâs next - whether itâs a business meeting, family visit or early hotel check-in.
Red eye flights are especially popular for cross-country or long domestic routes, like flying from the West Coast to the East Coast of the US.

Red-eye flight tips
Landing early? Hereâs how to feel a little more human when you do. Flying through the night can help you make the most of your trip, but only if you actually get some sleep on board. Hereâs how to give yourself the best shot at arriving feeling rested (or at least functional).
Wear what works đ
Business trip? Keep the blazer in your bag. Go for soft, loose layers, like t-shirts, hoodies, joggers or anything youâd happily nap in. Comfort over couture.
Pack your sleep kit đ¤
A good travel pillow, a blackout mask and something warm (yes, planes are always freezing) can go a long way. Think of it like a DIY bedtime setup, 35,000 feet up.
Pick your seat wisely đş
Window seat = fewer interruptions and full control of the shutters. Less chance of being elbowed awake and no sunrise surprise lighting up your face. Win-win.
