What are Red Eye Flights?
There is something called a "red eye flight" that leaves late at night and gets there early the next morning. Most of the time, business travelers who need to travel overnight so they don't miss a workday take red-eye flights. The phrase "red eye" comes from people whose eyes turn red from being tired after traveling late at night or early in the morning.

How to Fly with Red Eye
Some people can't stand red-eye trips, but sometimes you have to take them to get where you need to go. For your next red eye trip, remember these tips and tricks.
Pick the correct red eye route.
If you choose a red eye flight that gets you to your destination at a decent time, you'll have time to rest and recover before you start doing the things you want to do when you get there. Think about things like how long the flight is and how well you can handle traveling late at night.
Be Smart About Packing
Make sure you bring the things you need for a comfortable red-eye trip. To make the plane a more relaxed and sleep-inducing place, you might want to bring a neck pillow, an eye mask, earplugs, or even a lighter blanket to keep you warm.
Clothing that feels good
Don't bring the clothes with you. Not being able to move around freely in your clothes can really make it hard to fall asleep on a plane. Wear loose clothes like a T-shirt or jacket with sweatpants, jeans, or shorts. The important thing is to wear whatever makes you feel good.
Reserve your seat ahead of time.
If you book your place ahead of time, you can choose a window seat and won't have to worry about other people waking you up to get past you. You can close the window blinds in window seats to make sure that light from the sun doesn't wake you up when the sun comes up. Some flights also let you book seats ahead of time with extra legroom for an extra fee. Check out how to reserve seats ahead of time with First Fly Travel.
Tip: Pick a seat near the exit doors. Most of the time, these seats cost the same as other seats on the plane but have more room.
Drink water.
During your red-eye trip, staying hydrated can really help you avoid getting dehydrated and fight fatigue. Be careful about what drinks you bring on the flight because alcohol and caffeine can make it harder to sleep.
Entertainment on board
Use the in-flight entertainment system to pass the time on your red eye flight. You might want to limit your computer time around the time you want to go to sleep if you want to get enough rest.
First or Business Class?
Since they leave late at night and arrive early in the morning, red eye flights are often less expensive than flights that leave during the day. Because of this, you might be able to afford to fly in business class or first class, which is without a doubt the best way to get a good night's sleep on a red eye. You may also be able to book a seat that turns into a bed if you fly in business or first class. Find out more by reading our guide on flights with beds.
Get used to the local time.
To get over the jet lag that comes with a red eye trip, you should change the time you go to sleep to match the local time. Try not to go to sleep until it's a good time to go to bed if your flight is in the morning.
Stress relief
If your plans allow it, give yourself some time to rest and relax when you get off the plane after your red-eye trip.
What are Some Good Reasons to Take a Red Eye Flight?
Deals on tickets
Red Eye trips are often cheaper than other times of the day because they leave at odd times. This will save you money. You can also easily and safely book a red-eye trip while you're on the go if you pay with PayPal.
Saves money on hotel stays
Since you're going overnight, red eye flights are both a way to get there and a place to stay! It's much cheaper to buy a red-eye ticket than to get there in the evening and stay in a hotel for the night.
Less wait time
In the evening, there aren't as many planes. This means that planes that leave late at night or early in the morning tend to be less delayed.
More pleasant time at the airport
At night, when the airport is less crowded, it takes much less time to check in, drop off bags, board, and get your bags back than during the day.
Have a great first day.
If you get to your destination early in the morning, you'll have the whole day to yourself. If you fly during the day, you will be moving for half of the day. Even trips early in the morning can take up most of your morning. Think wisely, especially when you are going to explore new places and add some of the best experiences to your travel bucket.
