Our return flight home from Lisbon in July got moved to an earlier 6:35am departure time.
Should we bother with getting a hotel room for the night if we'd have to vacate it at 3am anyway?
depends on how much that bedtime-until-3am sleep is worth to you. can your family pull an all-nighter? if you don't have a hotel, would hanging out in restaurants/bars/parks all night work for you?
if i doesn't, perhaps make a compromise and get the cheapest room you can find near the airport. being nearby would buy you a little extra sleep in the morning...
if i was on my own, i'd absolutely consider skipping the hotel and spending the money on a night on the town, and then plan to sleep in-flight (i fall asleep very easily on planes). my circadian rhythm is going to be messed up when i get home anyways, why not throw it for a proper loop?
if i have my (younger) kids with me, a hotel and a few hours of quality sleep are the only option. otherwise we'd be
that family with
those kids on the flight.
