Rest on long haul

The Airplane lands at 14:30 local time after a 11 hour flight and is turned around in 90 Min. You leave to the Hotel about 15:15 and your pickup is the next day 13:30 local time. One hour to the Airport as transportation time in some cases and then 16:00 hrs that day you fly back. This is a normal example if the schedule to that destination is daily. If you have 3 flights per week on 2,4,6 then you get 2 or 3 local nights rest there. In some weard cases you deadhead back in the same Aircraft you operated in. Complex subject, the rules are diffrent worldwide and a lot is legal under one AOC while another AOC from another state is not permitting the same practice. Often are labor agreements more restrictive then the law. Pilots are sometimes surprised how much more they would be allowed to do but labor agreement is more restrictive.
