Agreed. I usually try to avoid overnight stops, unless I can get in by dinner time to a city where I have friends I'd like to visit anyway. It is strange that a lot of the AS routings to Mexico work that way. Probably because I don't think they overnight any aircraft there, so in order to do a same day turn, they have relatively early departures that are difficult to connect to from some cities.
