Yes.......

Like you said it depends, and everyone who answers here won't matter because only you know what a "good" trip means to you.

If I have a two day trip with 24hrs AUA layover but its non-commutable both ends, so now I'm gone 4 days, that's a bad trip.

But for a person that lives in base, its an awesome trip....one leg of flying, 24 hr beach layover, one leg home....easy!

A one day turn worth 8 hrs is awesome for a local guy, but sucks for a commuter...unless the commuter is senior enough to put a few of them back to back to back and make their own 3 day trip, but then they have to get a hotel or Crashpad each night....toss up

I personally hate red-eyes....I don't get the nap or crew meal that the WB guys get when they fly through the night and I'm fairly useless when I get home....more so than my wife already says I am!

Other guys love redeye because they get the full day of pay but they are at home doing projects, picking kids up from school, etc

And you may think you would hate redeyes after reading a bunch of posts here, but you won't know for sure until you have done a few, and then you might find out they are so bad for you personally.

BLAB: everyone has a different opinion on what is good vs bad
