The TK flights have a shorter total travel time and lousy arrival/departure times. The ET flights have better arrival /departure times but much longer total travel times
with an overnight in Washington at mY exlense befor the TATL segment. I will likely go with TK and deal with arriving and leaving in the middle of the night. Very surprised an airline would have such a lousy scedules for flights to a major tourist destination.
