As to the other posters comment on lodging - I actually disagree. We book a night at a hotel and we get to sleep in the beds. If we arrive in the AM we are booking the night prior so we can check in at 7am. I'm not in my 20s and have a kiddo. Done with those days of wandering London with my luggage hoping they can check me in at 4pm only to pass out. Daytime flight is a game changer especially if you have 24/7 room service at your arrival hotel.

Back when I was flying IAD-LHR several times a year, this was my go to option. Flights were indeed full, and upgrades were few and far between. I much preferred the late night arrival which gave us a full work day following arrival.
