Can you filter out Redeye flights on Delta.com???

I am trying to get a flight from CVG to SLC in a few weeks. When I search on DL.com I keep getting Redeye return flights. Is there a way to filter these out?

I am sure the Redeye is the lowest fare, but it does not really give you another option for the return when you choose the outboud flights that they give you as options.

I can look up one-way flights to get what I want, but this was not an issue before the new website launched.

Thanks and Happy Travels!

I've noticed the same issue sometimes and have found a way to get around it. When entering your information, go to the advanced booking page and select schedule instead of price being more important to you. This should help you out.

Another trick is to use multi-city. After entering CVG and SLC with your dates, use the "Sort by" drop down box to the upper right of the first flight and select departure. I was presented with 14 return flights arriving in CVG before midnight, to include two non-stops.

I have tried both. The problem is that the prices are not listed when you sort by schedule. It will get me there when I want, but if I can take the later flight and save $500 I would prefer to do that.

I ended up checking one way flights to get the pricing and routing that I want, then I can choose the exact flights by schedule.

I also found that you can kinda sort through some of the less desirable options if you view the outbound and return at the same time. Didn't see that little radio button until a few minutes ago.

Thanks for your help.
