But a 4 our flight or less from New Yrok to London would mean leaving at noon an getting there at 10 at night, or leaving at 4:00 in the evening would get you there in the wee hours, where the 8-hour flight gets you there in daylight.

Say what you like Peter. As a former business man, I would always choose a four hour flight over an eight hour flight IF I had the option and the money.
