I would believe you both, because it makes more sense that 12:40 Saturday would mean leaving Friday night. But then why does USAirways have a note that my flight will not land until Sunday? It's a 4 hour flight... how can I leave 12:40 Saturday and not get there until 8:30 Sunday?

Also, I thought I saw on this forum that USAirways might just list their redeye flights weirdly.

Thank you for your welcome!

Also, reading this thread:

It seems like the OP of that tread is saying that if you want to leave on say.. Sunday morning's redeye (which is what I want to do) you have to search for it on Saturday!

If you try to book this flight on USAirways, you will find it listed last for Saturday. If it's 12:40 am Saturday morning, why not list it 1st?
