2) The lowest fares, if they have them, are leaving early in the morning (pre public transport, so drive and parking, taxi or hotel overnight) and arriving late at night/early in the morning. However, you'll see the same thing with BA at Gatwick for their lowest fares, just not the same level of lowest fares.

To be fair LGW has public transport from London 24 hours- I've often caught a train after a 2am finsih at work and then an early morning BA flight. Not sure about the smaller London airports... anyone any experience of getting a 6am FR flight?
