Call me mad but a LGW-PMI-LGW 6am dept back home by 2 with the kid n wife , nothing beats it.
Oh, I dunno. I quite enjoy being fed cordon bleu cuisine in the cruise, tucking the aeroplane away on arrival and spending several days lounging around in an exotic location (for free) before buzzing home and having a week off.
At least we don't have to hose out the cabin afterward unlike some airlines
