Currently there's only two JFK-LHR flights that arrive after midday:

VS 46 dep 1.50am arr 1.17pm
AA 142 dep 8.30am arr 8.25pm
BA 178 dep 8.40am arr 8.35pm

compared to 14 that arrive between 6.35am and 11.35am

There's a Continental flight EWR-LHR that arrives around 9 pm. I
suppose it may have been discontinued recently, but it was certainly
available this Spring.

As I appear not to be able to count to three, perhaps we should revisit
this...

It seems there are still some "depart 9.00am EWR, arrive 9.20pm LHR"
flights, but I had previously only been looking at JFK flights.

CO 18 - still exists, scheduled arrival at LHR is 9:15pm.

Also, there's a Virgin Atlantic flight from EWR - VS18 - that's
scheduled to arrive at LHR at 8pm.

It seems it was "405 minutes late" yesterday. So maybe not a regular
timing.

It was a tour arranged a well known Concorde-related firm (Goodwood
travel). So much less than a scheduled flight, but I paid for it myself.

There were two today:

BA238 dep 8.15am arr 7.40pm
AA156 dep 9.10am arr 8.45pm

The problem with all these conventional same-day flights is that you
lose the whole day in USA, but you also aren't forced to try to make do
with very little sleep overnight.

As such, these are not really "red-eye" flights... compared to...

VS12 dep Boston 7.45pm arr Heathrow 7.20am; 6hr 35mins in the air, which
means at best 5hrs sleep in most cabins.

I think i've been on one of those. I've definitely been on a flight back
from NY that got in in the evening, and it could well have been from
Newark.

I always wanted to fly on a Concorde and sail on the QE2. I never
managed the former but did the latter in its penultimate year of doing
"real" crossings.

I think Goodwood had a package which was Concorde out and QE2 back.

My disappointment was assuaged somewhat by a talk on board for a former
Concorde captain.

In the mid 90's I lived a few doors away from the QE2's captain (Ronald
Warwick). And from there I would travel up to London on the newly
privatised Great Western.

I'm surprised these flight times aren't a lot more common, and more
popular. I've only managed to use them a few times, but each time I've
had virtually no jet-lag, whereas I usually suffer for several days. I
put it down to the fact that after a whole day travelling you get home,
crash straight into bed, and sleep soundly.
