Texas - Christmas Eve/Christmas Morning Flight Houston - OKC

Hopefully this is the correct place to put this query.

I'm (desperately) trying to find a redeye/early morning flight from Houston (either IAH or HOU) to OKC for Christmas. I'm in town from Singapore for Christmas to visit 2 families and one is doing Christmas in Houston on Christmas Eve, the other in OKC on Christmas morning. Presents are being opened early in OKC on Christmas morning due to small kids.

Does anyone know how late the latest departures are on any airline from IAH and HOU that go to cities I could connect in to OKC? I only see Continental departing until 7 pm from IAH, AA and Southwest at around 6:30 and 5:30 pm from HOU, and all of these are too early to have a decent Christmas with the Houston family. The earliest flights on Christmas morning put me in OKC at about 10 am, which is too late for presents in OKC!

Any help is appreciated!!

To my knowledge no flights get into OKC after 11PM or before 8AM from Houston, OKC is not a huge airport with a tremendous amount of traffic, and as such does not truly operate on a 24 hour schedule. If you want to be in OKC earlier than 8, youll have to fly in the night before, or fly into DF and drive to OKC (about 3 hours) which would most likely not save you any time :(

No huey, Jose....

Continental has a direct flight from IAH Houston to Tulsa leaving at 9:20pm on the 24th getting to Tulsa at 10:43pm...then you'd have about a 1 hr 45 min drive to OKC...late but not too bad. You'd actually be able to get a few hours of sleep before attacking presents!
