Traveling to London with a 1.5 year old, night or day flight?

[Anonymous]

I'm surprised to hear so many people in favor of a night flight! I found a night flight worked when kids were babies, and could sleep ON you, but once they were mobile, red eyes are hell. literally, you will be running up and down the aisle with a hyper/overtired maniac toddler. And then it will take days to recover from their lack of sleep. I have made this mistake a few times. This may be something that is kid-specific though, YMMV.
