What exactly is "Overnight Sunday"?  There are no overnight flights on the westbound flight from Europe to the US- the latest flight to DC leaves Paris at 5 PM, and that isn't an every day flight.  Reasonably then you could stay in the city until maybe 1:30 or so before leaving.[/quote]

I think it's like a 7pm departure on sunday. Three trick is to get really good sleep on the plane. [/quote]

No, as stated in the message you replied to, the late departures to Dulles on Air France and United (on the days they operate, which is mostly the summer schedule I think) both leave at 5 PM, and arrive at Dulles at about 7:30 PM EDT.  I don't understand your strategy to "get really good sleep on the plane" on a flight that leaves that early.  And then what do you do when you arrive?  Stay up overnight?  If I slept even 2 hours on the plane I would be up until probably 3 or 4 AM, and then maybe get 3 hours sleep.

I think you are confusing this type of flight with the ones from the middle east, some of which depart around midnight, and are much longer (14 hours from say Doha versus 8 from Paris), and thus arrive at 8 or 9 AM.  On that type of true red eye you could certainly time this all out well.  But I don't see how it's manageable on what's essentially a late afternoon flight that arrives at 7:30 PM.[/quote]
