To the extent that "bottled" might have a pejorative connotation, I don't think it's warranted. That sounds like a very sensible compromise: it doesn't delay your return by as much as 24 hours (even though it sounds like it wouldn't cause you any difficulty), and if you're taking an extra day to complete your holiday, then a day flight has many benefits in any event.
