How to Search for Red Eye Flights

If you don't want to spend a day of your vacation catching flights and making connections, take a red eye, which is defined as a flight departing between 9 pm and 5 am. These flights are usually not full, which sometimes implies deep discounts. Red eyes generally fly from west to east, where a number of hours evaporate in the night and morning comes much sooner than you even thought possible.

Instructions

- 1
  Refine your "search" settings on fare comparison websites or your favorite airline's website to a departure time of "Night" or "After 9 pm," which will bias the results towards red eye flights.
- 2
  Call your travel agent to ask about red eye flights that might be available.
- 3
  Review an airline's timetable to see all of that airline's daily scheduled flights to and from a destination. Look specifically for the flight number of the red eye, so you'll be able to ask for it directly when consulting a ticket agent.
