"If travelling short-haul, I think first thing in the morning is the best time to fly as aircrafts usually have better punctuality at that time because they are the first flight out of the airport," says Paul Charles, former Virgin Atlantic Director and CEO of travel consultancy The PC Agency.
"Even though I hate waking up so early, I try to fly as early as possible on the way out to maximise time on holiday," says Charley Ward, Condé Nast Traveller's commerce writer.
Flying throughout the day is a much more civilised way to travel. There are no daunting wake-up times or exhausting late-night arrivals, and you arrive feeling much more refreshed.
Travel too early, and you risk being exhausted when you arrive. Too late, and you'll miss out on valuable holiday time. There's lots to consider when booking.
