Important! What eye color are 6:00am flights?

(1/2) > >>

Ike Zimbel:
Ok, we all know that an overnight flight is a "red eye". Lately, I've had a LOT of early morning flights, where you have to get to the airport at 1 million o'clock in the morning to be on the plane when it leaves at 6:00...but what eye color is that? Some suggestions I've heard, so far are a "black eye" and a "pink eye" (which has the added negative appeal of the suggestion that you might also get conjunctivitis from your fellow passengers...). Me, I'm kinda' leaning towards that bruised, yellow-ish-green-ish color, but hey...totally open to suggestions. ???

When I flew home from tour, I had a 6am flight. It was an international flight so I had to be there at like 3am. Got to the US security portal even before those lazy ass TSA tards. My eyes were pretty red. Luckily I was in first class the whole way home so I just put on my sunglasses and slept. The annoying part was having to get up and transfer planes in the middle of my nap.

I'd just call it "stupid early", because getting up that early tends to reduce one's effective IQ.

I've always referred to these as "0-dark-thirty".

It's called a shut eye because that what everyone does once there in their seat.
