Re: Flying home to Melb from Colombo all in J on Ek and still jet lagged and shattere
I used to fly monthly between Sydney and Basel with stopovers in BKK and Heathrow (22-24 hours in total). On arrival in the morning, I was able to attend meetings and do a full days' work without feeling jetlag. Granted I was younger then However, a tip that I received from a colleague is to start adjusting to the destination's time zone the moment one boards the plane at point of departure, e.g. I adjust my watch (and mental state) to Switzerland time the moment I board the plane in Sydney, the transits in Thailand and UK notwithstanding.
