Those of you familiar with transcontinental travel in North America are generally well aware that there's really no ideal option for traveling from West to East.
There are essentially four schools of thought on flying West to East:-- I generally prefer to leave early in the morning,which normally means I'm deprived of sleep the night before, but at least arrive at my destination in the mid-afternoon. Most of the major airlines believe a flight in the 6:00am hour leaving the West Coast, or arriving to the East Coast before 3pm. You don't win the whole day at your destination,but you at least win the late afternoon and you're there in plenty of time to win ready for dinner, an evening out, and etc.
-- The bulk of West-to-East flights tend to leave mid-morning or so,arriving after 5pm East Coast time and often quite a bit later. I prefer these flights less because, while I'm getting a better sleep the night before, or I'm essentially "missing" an entire day on the plane,and not even making it to my destination in time for a dinner reservation.The post Is This The Strangest Flight Schedule You’ve Seen? appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
