I like early flights.. we get a hotel room at the airport to save precious time in the morning...
Being at the airport at 5 or 6am is really early with younglings
Yeah, I’ve done that many times with my kids, as young as 6 months flying back to Oahu (and many, many more flights from the East Coast to Hawaii; leaving the house by 4am or earlier). Our airport is 30-60 minutes away, but only once I did stay at the Ritz Pentagon City for a flight from DCA to HNL. Got dropped off so left the hotel at 5am, 10 minutes later were at the airport. This was when my kids were maybe 7 & 9 or so.
It is a toss up, but sometimes you have no option! I gave up our super early morning flights if they’re is any option; it’s just not worth it if I can avoid it.
