Often it's because a aircraft shortage.

An aircraft is available, but only at those times; being used for other services earlier.

While I wouldn't normally appreciate an arrival into PER at 0320, it would avoid the possibility of confusion with the two other jumbos (EK and MH ??) that arrive near the normal schedule time......

Happy wandering

Fred

Not only that but arriving at 03:20am in PER would give perfect connections on most early morning flights to the east coast.

True,

I have done this once. This would make it much easier. Last time I rented a car for 7 hours and drove to a friends place for some sleep.

You'd have a better chance of getting cab home at that time too!
