[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you prefer an early evening (around 630pm) or late evening flight (around 1030pm? We would get into London at 655am or 1040am. I kind of thinking the later flight because then more of a chance of sleeping? But then maybe earlier is better if there are delays? This is for summer. [/quote]

Just keep in mind whatever you pick could easily be changed by the airline. [/quote]

Um these sound like real airlines with established routes to London, the times of which haven't really changed in decades.[/quote]

Not true!  Virgin has had 1 or 2 flights per day for a while, depending on season and a few other things.  Those flights seem to fluctuate a lot between a 9:30 PM departure and a 6 PM departure.  I know because I had a booking with them a few years ago through New York for a late departure, because on that day the Dulles departure was 6 PM and I didn't want that early window.  I got a flight change notification maybe 4 months before departure, checked the Dulles schedule for that date, and they had indeed switched the schedule for that day to 9:30 PM, so I took that one.

In addition, United has had a daytime flight with an 8 AM departure on their schedule for a while, but pulled it during the pandemic, added it back in late 2021, and then removed it again in late 2023 and hasn't added it back since.  And BA has added a 3rd daily departure around 7:30 PM most days, previously they had a 6 PM and a 10:45 PM departure, now they have one in between.

These types of routes definitely have more stability than a lot of domestic routes, but they still have some fluctuations based on demand, season, days of the week, and other variables.[/quote]
