Has anyone noticed the shortage of early flights this year?

[Anne 2009]

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the shortage of early flights this year? Usually i can get one from east midlands at 06.05 but cant find any early ones. Trying to find some for september but all i can see are afternoon ones.

Ryanair Manchester have stopped their early morning flights now. They're all 2pm other than a couple in August which are 6:am.
Whilst 2pm isn't late I still feel I've lost the first day by the time you've got sorted. I've been on plenty of the earlies and they're generally full so I can't work out why they've changed. And it's not just Ryanair. I struggled with Easyjet as well. For some reason they now think I want to be landing back home at 2 or 3:am.......

There's obviously a reason they've changed but I can't think of one....

Ryanair changed our flight time from East mids from 6.45am to the 1.15pm yesterday, they didn't give us a reason but the girl on the desk said it was probably because the plane wasn't full, and neither was the plane that we got on yesterday

They change the flights times in the summer

Looks like they have changed the Murcia and Tenerife flights around from EMA.

TFS was early morning and Murcia late pm. Probably using the using the same aircraft for both flights.

Must be some operational reasons etc, a lot of the airlines do a quick spain and back in the morning and the longer flights pm possibly in case there are delays and the knock on effect.

they are doing it for loads of flights. Just back from mainland Spain and flights used to be 0930 from EMA now leave at 1635 landing in Spain around 2000.
