Personally, I'm the opposite. The last thing I want is a regional flight after a long-haul.

I remember my first trip to SIN was on UA (YYZ-ORD-HKG-SIN). After getting to HKG, realizing that we had another ~3.5-hour, ~11pm-departure flight ahead of us was super depressing. Now mind you, I was nil status and flying UA coach, but the sentiment holds.
