[quote=Anonymous]Later flight unless you are willing to pay for a hotel room for the night before you get in. I have done this before, in order to enable checking into a hotel room at 5am (only some hotels will let you do this, but airport hotels are the most likely to allow it so I will often just do that).

I am crap at sleeping on planes no matter my class status or the time of flight, so this works better for me because I will just not sleep on the flight at all, maybe listen to a podcast and doze but not actually sleep, but then check into the room in the early morning and get 4-5 hours of real sleep, wake in time for lunch, and have no jet lag. If I'm on vacation, this is ideal because it's usually my preference to stay out late, especially in a European city, and then sleep in a bit in the morning. So I'll basically be on schedule at that point without a jet lag day. This also works best for work travel for me, especially if I have meetings that day, assuming they are in the afternoon.

But it's not always possible depending on where I'm going, and obviously only works when traveling east with a short enough flight that I can actually get a decent amount of sleep in the morning at the hotel.

With the later flight, I will still not really sleep on the plane, be fairly worthless until I can check into my hotel, and then pretty much have to nap at the hotel prior to dinner unless I want to be catatonic at dinner that night. Then go to bed late after dinner, sleep in a bit the next day, and at that point be on schedule. But I lose a day to jet lag this way and am usually VERY grumpy that first day.[/quote]
