How do you cope with it ? I’m 4 hours delayed in San Francisco and never able to sleep on flights….???

Tia….

I post here. Late.

Seriously, I try and eat before flying on the way back. And rest or sleep on the flight. Once home, a good dose of sunlight helps.

LOL – are you waiting for the BA flight as well?

I’m sat in the 1st class lounge which is taking the sting out of the wait……

Have you never worked shifts? 2 days 2 nights 4 off, here. Jet lag, piece of cake by comparison…

Drswank…. Yes !!!

But not 15stq class unfortunately…

If there’s only one of you I can bring you in as a guest?

Me and Mrs tlr….

Thanks anyway !!!

LOL

The test of a true relationship – The Mrs, or 1st Class Lounge……

Actually – you’re not missing much. The wine isn’t great and the wifi keeps dropping.

I’ll roll a few crusts back from the front of the plane 😉

She suggested I ,came up alone to say hi !!!!

Not too bad down here in the cheap seats… Stunning Californian sunset, music and chocolate…. 😯

Well, the plane still ain’t here!

I get the feeling it’s gonna be a long night…..

No help on jet lag but this thread has made me smile

A bigger test of love is complementary up grades….. Was flying home from canada with wife under her own name. I got an upgrade but she didn’t, I’m afraid the decision did not take me long….

Plane looks ad though its arrived… What were you doing in SF Dr ?

don’t really suffer from jet lag that much, I guess it all depends on the times of day /night etc. I feel a bit tired sometimes but it’s nothing a fairly early night doesn’t sort out.

Kev

As someone who has spent and will continue to spend 90% of my working life ‘jetlagged’ I would love to find the perfect solution. It’s been more fatiguing than working regular shifts too v890!

I try to keep on UK time for food and sleep where possible but otherwise it might mean out of sequence sleeps away and forcing my body clock to adjust by staying up longer in the UK. Stay easy on the booze too!

Sadly sleeping on the aircraft is a non-option (unless heavy crewed).

Managed some sleep and dinnae feel too bad. Final leg now to Aberdeen….see how it goes tonight !!!
