Of course, it is hard to get a late flight back to the US from Europe  
- the basic rule seems to be that airlines try not to have
flights arrive in the middle of the night. (BTW, flights to / from  
India can certainly violate this in my experience.)

So, I have a 6:00 AM flight from Dublin on Saturday August 2nd. Joy.
