This is particularly true of the opposite direction -- since the flights are almost all morning departures. E.g., BCN-PHL departs at 10:45a and arrives PHL at 1:35p.

I think that's yet another argument for flying into LHR (as you'll get some of the best metal on the overnight segment) and out of a smaller city on the continent.
