im considering doing one of 2 things for a flight im looking to book.
take the 6am pdx-iah, arriving at 12:04, then departing on iah-ewr at 1:10pm

or take the 12:25am pdx-iah, then sit around in IAH untill the 1pm iah-ewr

im connecting onto an international in EWR, so i cant take a later iah-ewr.

do you think i should go for the 6am, and risk the 1hr connection or play it safe with the redeye??
