Off a transatlantic journey?

The only flights arriving that time of night seem to be from Switzerland,
but the OP could have got a "deal" by flying transatlantic with a stopover
there. (Traditionally transatlantic flights land in Europe the morning, so
even if by a roundabout route, getting to the UK at 9pm is a bit odd).


Most transatlantic flights do indeed arrive in the morning, but by no means
all, especially from the East coast of the US to London. I recently
returned from New York and was just about going through baggage reclaim at
Heathrow at 9pm.

I've arrived back from NY at about that time too. Although having
travelled at Mach 2

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.

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.

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.
