As you probably already know is always worse than going east, west, that said I’m going to give you a very honest answer. I’ve done many cross-country and from west coast to UK and I have never dealt well with them. Yes, over 25 years of dealing with them and have used every trick, program, herbal medication and whatever – still those flights are tough. However, I do prefer them to day flights Which leave me messed up for three days afterwards. It does help to eat very lightly, do not consume alcohol and wear special socks made for those long flights – otherwise welcome to Flying Which is only getting worse.
I like to take red-eye flights. There are many advantages. First they are a little cheaper, second (which I love) the airplane is almost always half full so you can take two or three seats, and sleep during the whole trip. So since it is in the middle of the night, almost everyone is sleeping or reading, lights are out so you can rest. I like to take these because I can do a lot of things around the house before leaving, I get to the airport tired, I sleep during the whole trip and when I arrive I am fresh and ready to start enjoying my trip. Since airports do not have so much people even during these hours to pick up your luggage and rent your car is better since you do not have to wait long lines. Good Luck and Happy Travel!
Just sleep through the flight, so when you wake up, you’ll be more refreshed and much less jetlagged. It’s really the only thing that helps =] Avoid alcohol and caffeine before you leave, because they will dehydrate you and keep you up much later than you’ll care for. Have a nice flight!
Buy a very large coffee the second i get off the plane, and sleep in the taxi (I can not sleep on planes)
