On shorter overnight flights, aim to find flights that are nearer or later than your usual bed time. This will help with dropping off to sleep.

The flights are also less likely to land when you'd typically be in deep sleep in your Philadelphia timezone. Remember, you'll typically be offered breakfast 1-2 hours before landing too. That will feel easier nearer 6-7am on your body clock than 1-2 am.

Faster door-to-door

Avoid rush hour in Philadelphia with flights departing after 10pm

Rush hour in Philadelphia hits around 3pm to 6pm. If you depart Philadelphia before 10pm, you'll hit the traffic on the way to the airport and check-in. Taxis and Ubers will be more expensive too.
