Night Flight to Hong Kong: The Last Ten Minutes

The Journal · Vol.1 — A Skincare Ritual at 35,000 Feet

Red-eyes keep their own clock. Once the cabin lights dim, your skin enters the dry plateau long before you do. In this first issue, we give you back the ten minutes before landing.

Dry at 35,000 Feet

Cabin humidity sits below 20% — drier than a desert. What you need isn't more water, but a way to keep it in.

A Small Ritual Before Landing

Before the tray table goes up: a leave-on mask or a glow moisturiser, so your skin wakes before the lights do.

At Chek Lap Kok, a swipe of satin lipstick while you wait for your bags — leave the red-eye up in the clouds.

After Touchdown

The Airport Express gets you downtown in twenty-four minutes, and the night view off Tsing Ma Bridge is Hong Kong's first hello. Don't unpack yet — go find a bowl of wonton noodles, or a window seat on the upper deck of a tram.

The Red-Eye Cheat Sheet

Set your watch to destination time right after takeoff — your sleep will follow. For ear pressure, swallow or chew a sweet. A small cup of water every hour beats a whole bottle at once.
