This was why my wife and I stopped taking early morning flights. It just was never worth it, ever. It always made us angry, tired, and a terrible way to start a trip.
Why would B use up a vacation day? Get off work at 5 or 6, head to the airport for flight at 7 or 8 and you still have time for a multi-hour long flight with time to make it to a hotel on the other side.
The profit margins on cinema food must be ridiculous. Corn costs virtually nothing. Imagine adding salt and butter, popping the corn and charging 35 USD for it.

It does kind of suck when your options are:
A) Early flight that gets you to your destination 5 hours before hotel check-in, and requires getting up at 2:30am
B) Late flight that leaves at a convenient time, but means you waste an entire vacation day to arrive at 10pm
C) Convenient flight that costs 3x more than option A or B and suddenly eats up half your travel budget
A usually ends up being the most attractive option.

I mean I’m being a little hyperbolic, but yeah, it is actually like $15, and probably costs them a few cents to make.
