It's just not common at US airports, outside of red-eyes leaving the west coast.

I didn't realize how many post-midnight flights JFK had. There's a 1:45am to Manila even

(I'm just looking at T1 in this case since that's where I am flying out of)

  - I'm saying it is uncommon in the US (with apparent exceptions) -- nm - ty97 Feb 12, 07:35
I think it's mostly about scheduling the flight to arrive in the early morning, which is what suits the business travellers most -- nm - Roger More Feb 12, 06:53 3
- I think it's a combo of that and JFK slot availability. JFK is full at peak times. So several airlines run more than one flight. - ty97 Feb 12, 06:59 2
  - Oh yeah - when you've got multiple flights on the same route, you want to spread them out a bit to provide the service your customers want. - Roger More Feb 12, 07:05 1
    - I think the MNL flight basically took whatever slot it could get (it's relatively new). - ty97 Feb 12, 07:08
