Day Flight or Red-Eye? Strategy for Detroit to Recife
On the 7-hour Detroit to Recife corridor, choosing between a daytime departure and an overnight red-eye can significantly impact your trip.

Red-eye flights save a vacation day but compress your sleep window — on a 7-hour flight, you'll get roughly 4 hours of lie-flat sleep after dinner service.
