[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There used to be a 9am flight from NY to London, and when I lived in London I used to take that one all the time. Get up, travel all day on little sleep, get to Heathrow at 9:30 at night when all everyone there wanted to do was close up and go home and we never got stopped or checked at customs, and then go to your own house to your own bed. It was great. I learned to run when I got off the plane - everyone in the hall would ask “are you from the NY flight” and when I said yes they’d start closing everything up, and I made it through the non-EU/UK line before it could back up. Bags made it out in record time, too. Those shut down times are another reason for no daytime flights - many airports or terminals shut down overnight and they don’t want to keep staff around for delayed flights in. [/quote]

There are still multiple flights from New York to London leaving between 7:30-9:30 AM.

Heathrow doesn't fully shutdown, they have a flight curfew. The terminals stay open with very limited services, and any passengers have to go to specific areas.
