I was just remembering my last few, arriving in Sydney at 7:30am and not getting onto my regional flight till 3pm do help, shower, breakfast, lunch and wine in the lounge helps
Ive had a fortnight holiday in the 5-6 hrs time difference every year Caribbean/USA for about 7 years and have no probs slotting in when I arrive, but coming back kills me for days.
This year We're flying back from the West Coast on a Sunday and going to work on the Monday.....yikes! I'm actually a bit worried about it, so thinking of stocking up on Red Bull to get me through the days. I won't take pills, so hoping this helps. Anyone done it?
Gone left, gone right, gone up and down. For me it's luck of the draw about the seat, flight, time of day and how good the warm up drinks are.
Travel with work every 4 to 6 weeks - mostly to the states or canada, both east & west coast
Always get an early flight out, have a late breakfast and always remain sober on the plane. Never ever sleep on the outward bound flight
Once i have landed stay awake as long as i can - 9 or 10pm minimum and drink lots of coffee to get myself there
Always wake up at 4am but treat the next 2 hours as a lie in
then i'll sleep to 5 or 6am the next day and not suffer with any mid afternoon fatigue
On the flight home i'll aim for a late flight, abuse the expenses in the airport bar and then get some more wine on the plane. Maybe watch one movie then sleep until landing.
Land early to late morning and then force myself to stay awake until 9pm again - even if it means going to work
My body clock is then back to normal the next morning
win win 🙂
