TL:DR

For real, some US and Canada flights to Europe are straight up leavin' in the dead of night. We talkin' flights between midnight and 4 AM! East Coast cities like NYC and Miami are the main culprits. Turns out, it's all 'cause they can't get decent slots at the airport, smh.

The Deets

Okay, so listen up, fam. Apparently, if you're tryna catch a flight from the US or Canada to Europe in July or August, you might end up on some super sus flight times. Like, we're talkin' dead of night departures. Imagine tryna catch a vibe when you gotta be at the airport at 2 AM? No thanks!

Word on the street is that these flights are mostly leavin' from places like Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, New York JFK, Quebec City, and St John's. Mostly East Coast vibes. But why the ungodly hours, you ask? Well, apparently, airports like New York JFK and Lisbon are gatekeeping the good flight slots, so airlines gotta take what they can get. Major L.

Airlines like Turkish Airlines, Norse Atlantic, TAP Air Portugal, WestJet, Air France, Air Europa, Austrian, KLM, and French bee are all in on this late-night game. For example, TAP Air Portugal's flights from Miami to Lisbon are straight-up night owls 'cause of those Lisbon slot restrictions. Rough.

WestJet just dropped a new route from St. John's to Paris CDG, but even that one's caught up in this after-dark madness. So, if you're plannin' a trip, peep the departure times, or you might end up startin' your vacay lookin' like a zombie, no cap.
