Re WAW that duty will i suspect be what our planning department call a 'short night' or more accurately a split duty, its not the shortest 'short night' i've seen but it something Norwegian routinely do across many bases, the objective is to avoid empty ghost flights departing at midnight, by using the time zones and the fact that far more traffic is inbound to LGW than the other way(it goes back obviously) it can leave early from WAW 07:00 and arrive in London at 08:25 and will have a full days flying planned before it (or another one) heads back to WAW at 19:10
Most routes start off like that then as the loads build up another morning rotation will be added East bound, it's not based in WAW but doesn't night stop in LGW either?????
