A red-eye flight is the late night flight, or the early morning flight where you get off the plane, and you've got those red eyes because you've been up all night. Usually, the last flight of the day, maybe at eleven o'clock at night is the red eye flight, and you usually spend the night or sleep over on the plane, and get in really early in the morning, at like five or six a.m. Red eye flights are mostly associated with cross-country flights, or international flights.
