What does REDEYE mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
An overnight flight that leaves late and lands early, so that passengers arrive tired.
The name comes from the bloodshot eyes of travellers who try to sleep upright in a cabin and rise at dawn in a new city. Airlines in North America sell such flights cheaply because the seats are hard to fill and the schedule suits people who want a full working day at their destination. The word redeye also turns up as a name for several fish with red eyes, such as the rock bass, and, in older slang, for cheap harsh whiskey.
