You're looking for the morning flights to Europe, of which there are few. I'm only aware of flights to London, though there may be others. Go to your favorite flight software, and restrict the search results to flights departing between 6 am and noon. (That's surely too large of a window, but it ensures you don't miss anything.) You won't find many results. I'm in Chicago and AA #90 is the morning flight to London, which is on a 767-300. From the NY area, you have AA #142 (777), UA #934 (767), BA #178 (747) and Virgin #26 (A340).
