Talk:Red-eye flight

message: I've made several changes to this article but I haven't had the time to cite and sources. This still needs to be done. Also I still think the article is of a very poor quality.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.218.71.5 (talk) 23:38, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

message: There is also a 2005 movie by the same name Redeye (film). Perhaps a link to the red eye disambiguation page would be appropriate.--Phixxor 04:47, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disambiguation 

message: As a European, I've only ever heard the term "Red-eye" on US TV shows. I've never heard the phrase used by a non-American. For this reason, I think the initial description should highlight this. Instead of saying "A red-eye flight is any flight operated by an airline departing late at night.", it would be more true to say: "Red-eye is an American term for any flight operated by an airline departing late at night."

thread_title:  Red-eye - US only or International terminology 

message: Is there any specific term for late-night flights that lasts more than seven hours? And what about those operating westwards, e.g., leaving Hong Kong at midnight and arriving in London at around 6am? Umofomo (talk) 21:47, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Longer late-night flights 

message: I don't think a short flight (for instance between Los Angeles and San Francisco, between Paris and London or between Copenhagen and Stockholm)  departing at 11 PM and arriving forty-five minutes later would be considered a red-eye flight, so perhaps the first sentence should be rewritten to include something about landing in the (early) morning. - Tournesol (talk) 12:19, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  A red-eye flight is ''any'' flight departing late at night? 

message: I've tried to be bold cleaning up the intro and removing the 'Other meanings' section for lack of citations and verifiable accuracy. That leaves what amounts to an introductory definition (with a citation, albeit not the strongest in the world) and then some pretty dense and possibly dated examples that, while difficult, are at least encyclopedic in nature. Because a sourced article detailing the history and operations of overnight flights could be notable and verifiable (?) I think the Examples section should stay, but any editors willing to improve on the article should be bold with their changes as well. I think this is a particularly difficult topic for an encyclopedia, but hopefully someone with a stronger aviation reference background can make it into something good. 
I also think it's important to remember that Wikipedia Is Not A Dictionary. If this is going to be full article it should be about the flights themselves and not the term. If an Overnight flights article wouldn't be worthy of an entry then Red-eye flight might not be either. At the very least, such an article should be very short.  Cf.

thread_title: Why are flights from Tokyo to Honolulu considered red eye flights?

message: Some flights operating west can also be red-eyes. I have three examples:
San Francisco to Hong Kong:
Flights typically take off between 11 pm and 1 am, arriving in Hong Kong between 4 and 6 am. These flights, however, are 13 hours, enabling a full night's sleep.
Hong Kong to London:
These flights also fit under this category, taking off from Hong Kong between 11 pm and 1 am, take 14 hours, and arrive between 5 and 7 am.
London to San Francisco:
These flights take off from London between 11 pm and 1 am, arriving in San Francisco between 4 and 6 am.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ethan369 (talk • contribs) 13:31, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Long-haul red-eyes

message: Some flights from New York City to Paris (7 hours of flight time, and 6 hour time difference) leave very early or very late. There are two examples:
Flights leaving New York City around 16:00 to arrive in Paris by 05:00 the next day, and flights leaving New York City around 23:50 to arrive in Paris by 13:00 the next day. Ethan369 (talk) 15:52, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why do some flights leave very early? 

message: I have no idea what that topic is supposed to be. Examples maybe? It makes the article difficult to use WoodlWizard77 (talk) 04:03, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
