Problem is the return leg I don’t want to travel overnight I can’t sleep on a plane can anybody find me any suitable flights? Best I can find is New York to London and getting back at 10pm but it’s not ideal as I need to get back upto Edinburgh. Staying in Washington or Boston is options for me or another city.
There are only a handful of eastbound daytime flights, because of the poor fleet utilisation and poor connection opportunities at either end.
(A plane that leaves an east coast US city at 8AM leaves too early for lots of inbound connections from other cities; and arriving at 7PM or so in the UK is too late for lots more onward connections).
I haven’t checked in a long time, but I think your only options for daytime flights from North America to the USA are BA BOS-LHR; American ORD-LHR; American, British Airways, Delta, United, and Virgin Atlantic from EWR or JFK to LHR; Air Canada from YYZ-LHR and United IAD-LHR. Some of those may have been discontinued.
