redeye flight
Sleep-depriving travel option
A redeye flight is a late-night commercial flight, typically departing after 9 p.m. and arriving early the next morning.
The name comes from the bloodshot eyes passengers often have after trying to sleep in an airplane seat.
Redeyes are common on long routes where travelers want to save a day: I took the redeye from LA to New York.
