Can one fly from the Naples, FL area to London in 1 day w/o a redeye flight?

Question

Typically one would drive to say Miami and take a redeye flight. I would like to get up very early and fly from Fort Meyers to another city that has a day flight to London (two connecting day flights). The closest I've been able to find is a early flight to Chicago to take a 9am day flight from Chicago to London. However there is only a 15 minute gap between flights so this can't work. Can anyone figure out a series of day only connections? Note that you are allowed to fly west (save on time due to time zones) or get up very early and drive a bit.

thanks

Answer 1

You need to find the closest airport offering non-stop direct international flights to London Heathrow or Gatwick. Then you need to coordinate your travel to that airport to have little or no down time on connecting flights. You'll have to arrive at the airport offering the flight to London in enough time to get to the departure gate without missing the international flight.

Answer 2

I have done some searching and I dont think its possible. If you absolutley cant take a red eye you could fly into New York or Chicago the evening before, spend the night at an airport hotel and then fly out in the morning. Its very difficult to find flights to Europe without doing a red eye. Sorry, I wish I could give you better news.
