Tips

No one enjoys getting off the plane feeling worn-out and exhausted - we have put together some tips and tricks for flying on a red eye flight to ensure you feel energised when you've landed at your destination.

Comfortable Clothing

We know it's important to show up smart to your business meeting, however, when you're flying we recommend you leave your suit in your case and get changed into comfortable clothing such as a hoodie, sweatpants and a loose t-shirt. You'll be asleep in no time!

Accessories

Why not bring a sleep mask, a pillow and a warm blanket with you on flight. This will help you fall asleep faster!

Seating

No one likes being interrupted when asleep - it's best to book the window seat as this will reduce the chance of other passengers disturbing you if they need to squeeze past. The window seat also means you have full control over the window shutters, so you can avoid being woken by the sunrise.
