Its more complicated then that, if your on a 4 hour flight, you may not want to leave around 10pm as you'd be landing at 2am. but if your on a 10 hour flight you may prefer to leave around then to land at 8am local time after flying over night. Additional complications happen because (at least in my opion) people actually don't care what time their flight leaves the airport, they care about what time they need to leave their house and what time it arrives. Im currently around an hours drive from my local airport but if I were to move closer to it then I would be prepaid to depart earlier as I don't need to actually get up earlier. Timezones add further complications.
