overnight flight
Sleep-depriving travel option
An overnight flight is one that departs in the evening and arrives the next morning, typically crossing time zones while passengers attempt to sleep.
Also called a red-eye, referring to the bloodshot appearance of travelers who've spent the night in an airplane seat: I took the overnight flight from New York to London.
