I was lucky because loads were very light in my flight, and I had a really great crew, but I can definitely report I had basically no jet-lag the next day (the early start needed for the day-flight to work actually helped me adjust). Just route to one of these three hubs, spend a night at the airport hotel, and take the day flight. I'll be doing the ORD one next month (albeit in W this time), will report on how that goes, as that is of course a bit longer.
This is the key to better transatlantic flying and crew love these flights as well.
