What is a Red Eye Fight?

A red eye flight is a flight that leaves in the evening or at night, and arrives at the end destination during the day (normally in the morning).

Essentially, it’s when you take a flight at a time when you would normally be sleeping.

The term ‘red-eye’ came about because of the sleepy passengers who would disembark the plane at the end location. Not everyone is able to sleep on planes, and those that can’t tend to stand out with their tired, dry, red eyes.
