Depends how long the flight is

Trans-atlantic then sure, gives me the opportunity to get my full day in here, sleep and get a full day in Europe.

Asia - No, would prefer to land in the evening so I can get a nights sleep in to beat the jet lag.

I fly to the UK a lot and always pop a sleeping pill on the red eyes. You’re asleep the whole flight and arrive fresh for the morning. It’s great.

I was never comfortable enough, even in first class, to properly sleep. 😕

oh 100%. especially transatlantic eastbound. I'm Chicago-based and flying to Europe sucks if I layover in NYC, but if I get the ORD to FRA flight, it's the perfect sleep time.

Just a quick tip for everyone traveling - always take a picture of your receipts.
