Seing as the subject of Jet lag and Flying long distances has now almost
reached discussion level I thought I'd add my 6 cents (3p in England).

My family and many friends line in England and I have travelled back there
but did not suffer too much from jet-lag but more from just lack of sleep.

Firstly, in reference to the flight, the majority of people find it almost
impossible to get much sleep - the best time however is when the film is
on. If you've never seen a film on a plane i can assure you it's not too
pleasurable en experience trying to watch it. The quality of headset is
terrible and I personally can never find a comfortable position for the
headset - either it irritates or is not far enough in my ear so I can
hear everything. The major problem is that it gives you a headache trying
to concentrate on the sound and also watch the film. Definately, even if
the headsets are free, don't bother watching the film take a 'kip'.

When you arrive - don't attempt to drive to Scotland that day ! Stay at least
one night in London, most hotels will let you move into a room as soon as
you arrive, take another knap ! Now it's midday so best head down the boozer
for a couple of pints, they'll chuck you out between 2 - 3pm so go back to
the hotel and take another knap. By 5 o'clock you're ready for an evening on the
town - stay up till about 11pm and then you should get a good nights sleep.

Next morning - wake up - voila, no jet Lag !

This is how the events took place when I last returned to my homeland. I did
forget to mention that plenty of showers and teeth cleaning also works
wonders.

	Bon Voyage
