Back when I worked for the federal government, I usually took my Rest Stop by arriving at my destination a day early.
To your point, the
JTR, Table 2-1, states:
The flight length alone is not sufficient justification to authorize or approve an en route rest stop. The TDY mission must be so unexpected that the traveler was unable to schedule a flight arriving the day prior to allow rest before work and the travel authorization must clearly state when the TDY travel was identified and when travel reservations were made.
vhuang , make sure you have an appropriate justification.
