Centurion lounge in T4 is open until 10pm so was thinking of going a bit early as leaving from work, doing secutiy at T4, spending an hour or so in the lounge and then Airtrain to T8 and security there for my flight after lounge closes at 10pm.... But got my thinking:


After a hectic flight during which McGee also narrowly avoids high-voltage cables, he meets the beautiful air hostess Maxine. He learns that he has been suspended for two months because of his repetitive delays and bad judgment. He then opens a flying school, with much publicity, and its success endangers the mail flights. McGee is to test a new aircraft that interests the Coast Guard. But because he late, his mechanic takes his place and is killed in a crash. McGee feels the loss very deeply.


We are embarking on a midnight flight, accompanied by our three little ones, all under the age of 6. We could really use some helpful advice on how to best organize their sleeping schedules both before and during the flight. We want to ensure they are well-rested and comfortable throughout the journey.


The flight itself is direct with no stops and is about 12 hours in length. The time change between the departure and arrival locations is 7 hours and when we arrive it will be late morning/early afternoon.


Firstly, regarding their pre-flight sleep routine, what are some effective strategies to help them with the late departure time? Also, given the excitement and unfamiliar environment of an airplane, the kids might find it challenging to fall asleep. How can we create a sleep-conducive atmosphere for them onboard? Obviously, we will be bringing a blanket from their beds and their teddy bears but is there anything else?


We are open to any other advice or personal experiences you can share with us, as we want to make this midnight flight as smooth and enjoyable as possible for our young ones. Thank you in advance for your support and guidance!


We did this a lot with our 3 little ones when we were living in country A but family in country B. In fact, our daughter had her first free flight on her own frequent flyer miles when she was 4. Overall we had very good experiences and the kids did enjoy the adventure. Fun stuff


Bathroom planning is important, especially if you have one that's just out of diapers and has a fairly short fuse. Do bathroom trips, when its convenient and there are no lines, even if they don't have to go. Ask the flight attendants to give you advanced notice if they will block the aisle for an extended period of time.


Just adding on to  bec102896's response - if you have a Wanna Get Away Plus, Anytime, or Business Select fares - you can change your flight (and get confirmed on another departure) on the app or Southwest.com for no additional charge. If they're all sold out (or say Unavailable) on the app, you'll have to go to the airport so they can add you to the Standby list, but you'd have to do it before your original flight is scheduled to depart otherwise you'd forfeit any travel funds per the No Show Policy.






Keep in mind that a same-day confirmed change does not guarantee your same boarding position - you'll likely get a later boarding position and if you purchased Early Bird Check-In, it'll have no use since you changed your flight less than 24 hours prior to departure.


After receiving a special airworthiness certificate from the FAA to begin testing the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) design in August, a noncomforming Midnight prototype has completed its inaugural test flight.


Midnight can carry a pilot and up to four passengers (or 1,000 pounds of cargo) as far as 100 sm (87 nm) at a cruise speed of 130 knots. But the air taxi is optimized for back-to-back, short-hop flights with about 12 minutes of downtime in between, which will be used to charge the aircraft.


When roaming the world, you have no choice about night flights. Many flights, especially to remote places, operate only at erratic, nighttime schedules, often planned that way to account for connections, cheaper gate slots, or the limited number of airports around the world that allow for 24-hour departures.


Archer has conducted flight tests with a number of subscale models, most notably its two-seat Maker technology demonstrator, which completed its first test flight in December 2021. The first full-scale prototype of the four-passenger Midnight vehicle made its first hover flights in October 2023.


Maker didn't conduct any test flights for six months after its initial hover test, but test flights resumed in June 2022. While it was temporarily grounded, Archer brought the aircraft to a wind tunnel to test full-scale electric motor and propeller combinations for both the forward tilting propellers and the aft lifter propellers. In addition to evaluating these elements individually, the units were mounted on full-scale boom, which was then attached to a wing section for testing in the wind tunnel, generating computational fluid dynamics data to support work to complete the design of the full-scale aircraft.


Archer announced in August 2022 that it had completed the preliminary design review for the initial production aircraft called Midnight. The company also updated some of the specifications for its planned aircraft. Midnight is expected to have a range of up to 100 miles (160 kilometers) on a single charge, and Archer says it expects the fully electric aircraft to conduct successive 20-mile flights with only 10 minutes of charging time in between. It will seat four passengers plus a pilot and can carry payloads up to 1,000 pounds (450 kilograms).


In mid-2021, a legal dispute arose between Archer Aviation and rival eVTOL developer Wisk, after Wisk set forth allegations that Archerstole trade secrets from former Wisk employees, largely based on the aircraft's rapid development timeline. Archer refuted this claim by stating there was no tangible evidence to suggest such a case, and that Archer never received such protected intellectual property. The legal battle culminated in a settlement in which Archer and Wisk agreed to collaborate on autonomous flight technology.


In July 2022, Archer announced that Austrian manufacturer FACC will contribute lightweight wing and fuselage elements for the eVTOL. Later in July, Archer found the manufacturer of the flight control actuation and thermal management systems for its eVTOL in Honeywell Aerospace.


Archer appears to have significant financial backing, mainly from Walmart eCommerce CEO Marc Lore, investing in a personal capacity. Co-founders Adam Goldstein and Brett Adcock have an entrepreneurial record, having sold their recruitment site Vettery to the Adecco Group for $100 million. They quickly assembled a credible team and appear to have made notable progress on flight testing with the two-seat Maker eVTOL technology demonstrator, although the full-scale Midnight aircraft has so far completed only some hover tests.


We have a number of questions here already about preparing for long haul flights, and about sleeping on flights including the canonical What is the most comfortable way to sleep on a plane? . Combining the suggestions from those may help you a lot. Bring something to read to pass the time, a sleeping mask to help you sleep on the plane, and so on. If you want to wear slippers on the flight, put them in your carryon and switch into them once you are in your seat on the plane.


The hard part about catching a flight so late at night is being tired in the airport. I had a 1am flight to catch once that was delayed until 2. That was very difficult. We had arrived very early because there was nothing else to do where we were, and were relaxing while we passed the hours. Reading, chatting, charging our devices. Around 11:30 another plane came in, people lined up, and then staff started going around talking to all the people who were waiting. I couldn't tell why because as soon as they saw my passport in my hand they moved on to someone else. About 1 am, a woman came running up to the gate looking very panicked. By this time the plane had been gone for an hour of course. She looked hysterical. Clearly she had fallen asleep somewhere far from the gate. The staff had been looking for her, but not found her. So my tip for you is wait directly at your gate. Wait in the seats closest to where you will board, and in seats that the staff can easily see. That way if you happen to fall asleep, they will find you and you won't miss your flight by being asleep in a far corner of the airport when it leaves.


Recently this is my goto white noise sound, every time I have a long flight. I downloaded it from youtube and it work brilliantly without internet connection.. 

You don't need to watch the video, but listening to the sounds helps a lot.


Late night flights are my go-to as eliminating a hotel night gets me pretty close to justifying the cost for a lie flat business class ticket which makes intercontinental travel much nicer. Math would quickly change with kids or cheaper hotels.
