It depends, usually RJs and some of the bigger turboprops (see above) will be in a hotel in another city. Smaller turboprops usually come home (normally a small town) at night. My company usually builds some jet lines consisting of all day trips, wher you return home each night. Folks who live in domicile like these, and it saves the company money on hotels and per diem.
Our D-8's usually come home every night, so ir depends on the airline and base.
