[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I would love an 8 am flight to Paris. 7 hours on the plane, 6 hours ahead. You'd wake up early, be on the plane all day, check in to your hotel around 9 pm, find a late dinner somewhere, and I guarantee I'd fall asleep by midnight Paris time and wake up normally on their time ready for vacation.

The overnight flights have me a total disaster for the first two days. Why don't they offer daytime flights? I can't be the only one who would prefer this. [/quote]
I 100% agree OP! Not getting a good night sleep before arrival completely messes me up. [/quote]m

Same. I think if one airline did it, people would be willing to pay lots more for the convenience.[/quote]

Nope, most of these flights that have operated in the past have shutdown because they lose money or aren't profitable enough, for the reasons discussed earlier. Just not possible to adequately fill planes with such limited connection options, at high enough fares to justify the added plane downtime.

The reddit thread linked above said the IAD-LHR daytime flight was "one of the worst performing United trans-Atlantic flights".

Example, this Delta flight they tried to Paris, was cut a year ago, couldn't make the numbers work.
