It doesn't matter with my son, unfortunately. The kid only sleeps well in a bed (doesn't matter which bed) but it has to be in a bed. The airplane/airport only jazzes him up.

So to answer the question, morning all the way!

I'd take the 2pm. That way the kids can go to bed "on time" PST.
I like taking flights mid morning. We usually take 10am(ish) flights

@regberadaisy: She went back to sleep in the car and then again when we got home.

well for one, I will try to avoid flights at all costs during the infancy stage..just because his schedule is actually ever changing and he can not get through more than 1.5 awake hours.

But, let's say I had a scheduled toddler with the same moods as my son, then I would def do mornings! He is beastly from 6pm on. Nights aren't his thing. Oh and he wakes up at the sound of a pin drop so I can't imagine him sleeping through a flight.

First thing in the morning when they're on their best behavior. I'd be too afraid to take an evening flight just in case they remain awake and cranky from being overtired.

Morning/afternoons for sure! As long as we get to our destination by bedtime (an hour or so late is fine).

For us, bedtime flights were the worst because she's so excited by all this stuff going around her that she won't fall asleep. Instead she'll stay up as long as possible, have a meltdown and sleep for 1 hour.
