Thanks for the comments Elgan :).

Oh and just wondering, how did you feel flying back in the daylight? I’d rather do that, than the night return back, you can go straight to bed once your home then, and the jet lag im sure would be less severe!

I found the flight times excellent, because when we arrived in New York we could go straight to bed and then wake-up pretty much like normal in the morning and go out and do stuff. It’s tempting to go to sleep on the plane outbound(impossible in VS economy:( ) but it would be pointless sleeping the whole 7 hours given that it’ll be time for bed when you arrive. Similiarly on the way back, when we got home, it was straight to bed and woke up around midday today, so I got at least half a day to do things whereas a night return would make it difficult to do anything on the following day.
I suppose you can even getter a quicker flight going at those times because the delays & availability of the NAT tracks are less (delays) and better(availability)!:D

Also as I said, immigration queues at Newark were non-existant as we were the last flight in & the last thing ya want after a 7 hour flight is a 2 hour queue.:rolleyes:
