My wife is short of 1K by 392 miles, and instead of spending $200 for the double EQM, we were thinking of doing a MR on New Year's eve.

We have been toying with the idea of flying a 500 mile hop before midnight to get her over the hump for 1K, and the rest of the MR departing right after midnight in order to count toward next year's EQM.

Perhaps something along the lines of:

SFO-LAX late in the evening of 12/31
LAX-xyz just after midnight early in the morning of 1/1
return perhaps on 1/1 or thereabouts

Or we could originate in Sacramento
SMF-SFO late in the evening of 12/31
SFO-xyz just after midnight early in the morning of 1/1
return perhaps on 1/1 or thereabouts

However, I have not been able to find any departures from LAX or SFO that leaves after midnight to make this work.

Short of going to the airport in the evening and look at the departure board, is there a way to search for flights leaving from a particular airport after a certain time? My eyes are popping from the sockets from reading the PDF schedule to no avail.
