red-eye flight
Late-night plane trip
A red-eye flight is a commercial airline flight that departs late at night and arrives early the next morning, typically crossing time zones.
The name refers to the bloodshot eyes passengers develop from sleeping poorly in airplane seats: I took the red-eye from LA to New York.
Red-eyes are often cheaper and appeal to business travelers maximizing their time.
