[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It’s mainly to make the connections. Arriving at 9 or 10 pm leaves very little time for all those passengers who need to catch connecting flights forcing into overnighting at airport or a hotel to catch connection next day.[/b]

I hate 8 am or earlier flights. That’s 6 am at the airport, so waking up 4 or so.

Arrive at 9 pm to airport, get by 11 pm or 12 am to hotel most probably still wide awake and fall asleep by 4:00 pm. And if need a connection, then most connecting flights have already flown.[/quote]

It's also about connections to the flight, if it's a hub.

In other words, the daytime New York to London flights that seem viable are likely largely supported by origin/destination traffic -- large numbers of people starting their travel in New York and going to London. You're absolutely correct that the daytime flight would be suboptimal for people wanting to connect in London for further travel. What I'm saying it it's also suboptimal for anyone wanting to go to London connecting to the morning flight from New York. Yes I realize there are lots of redeye flights arriving early in New York, but think of how many passengers on a redeye flight from New York to London have connected into New York earlier in the day.

Seems like New York -> London is one of the few markets that can support this. Washington -> Europe apparently can't.[/quote]
