[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are typically full because they are typically the cheapest fares.

They are miserable. I stopped doing red eyes in my late 30s when I decided I was too old for that inconvenience. Nobody at my office flies red eyes anymore.

I wish they had more nonstop International flights during the day. Flying overnight is miserable. [/quote]

+1. They are for amateur fliers who are looking for cheap seats. Except in extreme emergency, I’m way over them. [/quote]

This is OP, I guess I’m an amateur flyer then.  I’m usually United Gold, which means I’m a pretty regular flyer.  United Platinum and 1k, the “professional flyer” tiers come with more perks, but if I ever got to that level, I would hate my life.  Too much time in planes is not a good thing.

In addition to being an amateur flyer, I’m also poor, at least by DCUM standards.   By booking the red eye, we save about $3,000.  Each of the four flights is a savings of $500, which equals $2000 total.  Additionally, we save about $300 on additional hotel night, additional car rental and meals.  $3,000 in DCUMlandia, is chump change, but for us poors, it’s a lot of money.[/quote]
