Schedule is as bad as it gets, a 2:45pm east coast departure to Europe is torture, even in premium cabin. As much as I would love to see more nonstop flights from MIA to Germany I sure won't be on that one...

It's basically the same time the DFW-FRA flight leaves (local time). However, that flight is loaded this fall/early winter for a departure past 6pm. I have never seen the DFW-FRA flight scheduled that late. It always seem to be scheduled for a departure before 3pm. IIRC, FRA is slot-controlled during parts of the day. So it's not as though they can schedule the flight for any time they want.

It is perfect for the Germans that have to be out of their South Florida hotel rooms by 12PM...
