Most travellers prefer morning or afternoon flights. Since fewer people choose to fly at night, airlines reduce prices to fill seats.

Airports are less busy at night. With fewer flights and reduced congestion, operational costs go down, allowing airlines to offer cheaper tickets.
Business trips usually happen during the day. With fewer corporate passengers booking nighttime flights, demand drops, leading to lower fares.
Late departures or early-morning arrivals can easily disrupt passengers' daily schedules, so airlines compensate by offering lower fares.
Night flights often come with fewer connecting routes or longer layovers between flights, making them less convenient and therefore cheaper.
