This was why my wife and I stopped taking early morning flights. It just was never worth it, ever. It always made us angry, tired, and a terrible way to start a trip.

    It does kind of suck when your options are:

    A) Early flight that gets you to your destination 5 hours before hotel check-in, and requires getting up at 2:30am

    B) Late flight that leaves at a convenient time, but means you waste an entire vacation day to arrive at 10pm

    C) Convenient flight that costs 3x more than option A or B and suddenly eats up half your travel budget

    A usually ends up being the most attractive option.

    Why would B use up a vacation day? Get off work at 5 or 6, head to the airport for flight at 7 or 8 and you still have time for a multi-hour long flight with time to make it to a hotel on the other side.
