What are Red-Eye Flights?

Red eye flights, also known as overnight flights, are flights that depart late at night and arrive early in the morning of the next day. 'Red eye' comes from when passengers often feel tired and get red eyes after travelling late at night or early in the morning. These types of flights are very popular with business travellers that would rather not miss a working day and get all of their travelling out of the way at night time.

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 and get as much sleep as possible so you can feel well-rested and energetic the moment you arrive at your destination in the morning.

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.

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.
