Early mornings (+/- 1 hour of sunrise) is the best time to fly for new fliers. As long as there is no frontal activity, the air is calm, moist, and cool. .. Means you aren't sweating in the plane, the plane flys like its a hot knife slicing through butter, and being the break of morning, your brain is locked into the flying. Its great!
I'd take my students who had trouble with nausea up in those early morning flights and I could see a noticeable difference.
Then again, there was that time I got really sick with a student. I could hardly walk when we landed... guess it had been a rough trip to the bars the night before! haha
