Day Flight or Red-Eye? Strategy for Detroit to St. Thomas
On the 4.4-hour Detroit to St. Thomas corridor, choosing between a daytime departure and an overnight red-eye can significantly impact your trip. Day flights let you enjoy the full business class dining experience and arrive in the evening, ready for a hotel night's rest. Red-eye flights save a vacation day but compress your sleep window — on a 4.4-hour flight, you'll get roughly 3 hours of lie-flat sleep after dinner service.
Our recommendation: if you're traveling for business, the red-eye maximizes productive time. For leisure, the day flight lets you savor the cabin experience. Ask your Personal Travel Manager to identify which flight numbers offer the newest cabin product.
