Red-eye flights—departing late at night and arriving early morning—can save you both money and time. Pros: cheaper fares, fewer crowds, faster check-ins, and you maximize your travel day. Cons: poor sleep, jet lag, and limited dining options.
Pack essentials like a neck pillow, noise-canceling headphones, and snacks. Choose a window seat to rest easier and avoid aisle traffic.
Verdict: If you’re a budget-conscious traveler who can sleep anywhere, red-eyes are a goldmine. If not, the exhaustion might outweigh the savings.
