Less delays, fresher staff...things always seem to run more smoothly in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-flight-time#post-1229471 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 11:22:18 +0000 JoJoGirl 1229471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for posting this - we are traveling with 7 month old LO on a 5:30am departure in 2 weeks and I am TERRIFIED about getting the poor kid out of bed at 3am. Glad people say earlier is better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-flight-time#post-1229432 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 11:11:37 +0000 Mamaof2 1229432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes earlier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-flight-time#post-1229386 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 11:00:03 +0000 pui 1229386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote earlier flight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-flight-time#post-1229378 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:58:22 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1229378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think flights are such a crapshoot to begin with, might as well do the cheaper option. Plus then you'll have more time to decompress at your destination! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-flight-time#post-1229364 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:55:37 +0000 Smurfette 1229364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Earlier the better. Babies are always in a better mood in the morning. Less people will be on a 7am flight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-flight-time#post-1229363 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:55:34 +0000 looch 1229363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to get travel out of the way as early in the day as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-flight-time#post-1229360 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:54:31 +0000 loopedd 1229360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for early not because of sleep schedules, but because you're more likely to have a smoother experience in the airport at that hour. By the time a noon flight comes along, there are lots of opportunities for lines, delays, etc. So it may stink to wake him up super early but I think at a super busy time of year, early flights have less chance of getting messed up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-flight-time#post-1229324 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:47:07 +0000 Alivoo01 1229324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm working on booking our Christmas vacation flights, and the cheaper flights are always bright and early (7am). The next flight available is around noon, and is slightly more expensive.</p> <p>DS is pretty flexible with sleep/nap times right now (he'll be 5 months come Christmas), but I hate waking him up when it's not completely necessary. Would you pick the earlier flight time or the later one? </p>
