Jet Lag

When you going home? The Smyths at the Ritz next Saturday.

Next Wednesday :(

I remember flying into Australia a couple of times and the cabin crew would walk down the aisle spraying everyone down with some disinfectant, Wtf

That's a spray to kill any stowaway insects in the cabin or baggage racks

A few of the OAP's had their daughters with them...as well :)

Overnight eastbound Atlantic crossings I’d take a sleeping tablet if available, failing that half a bottle of Nightnurse.

We were heading back to the hotel and my mate said, "I'm going to the Augustiner keller. I'll see you in the morning".
Like fuck. I'm coming too. I could barely hold that glass up with one hand.

Haha. Always seems like a good idea at the time.

I'll show you jet lag.

And the dolls of Venus?


No, that’s Jet Silver and the dolls of Venus…

Weirdly, since the smoking ban, air quality on planes has worsened. Airlines used additional fuel clearing smoke fumes out of the cabin, which also removed stale air.

It's better than ever on modern planes..........I hated it when people smoked on aircraft, got off stinking of nicotine and forced to passive smoke.
The air on modern planes is very clean.

Indoor air quality study shows aircraft in flight may have lowest particulate levels​

Date: March 2, 2021 Source: Georgia Institute of Technology Summary: If you're looking for an indoor space with a low level of particulate air pollution, a commercial airliner flying at cruising altitude may be your best option. A newly reported study of air quality in indoor spaces such as stores, restaurants, offices, public transportation -- and commercial jets -- shows aircraft cabins with the lowest levels of tiny aerosol particles.

In flight, aircraft air is exchanged between 10 and 30 times per hour. Some aircraft bring in exclusively outside air, which at cruising altitude is largely free of pollutant particles found in air near the ground. Other aircraft mix outdoor air with recirculated air that goes through HEPA filters, which remove more than 99% of particles.

In all, the researchers evaluated measurements from 19 commercial flights with passenger loads of approximately 50%. The flights included a mix of short- and medium-length flights, and aircraft ranging from the CRJ-200 and A220 to the 757, A321, and 737.

Among all the spaces measured, restaurants had the highest particle levels because of cooking being done there. Stores were next, followed by vehicles, homes, and offices. The average sub-micron particle number concentration measured in restaurants, for instance, was 29,400 particles per cubic centimeter, and in offices it was 2,473 per cubic centimeter.

That was to kill your American super bugs and illicit sex germs

I do a lot of long haul both east and west into and out of UK for work and don’t suffer from it. I used to.

My “trick”, if you can call it that, is to be on destination time as soon as I’m on my flight. For the routes I usually fly I typically don’t sleep when heading west and try to get no more than a couple of hours when travelling east. I try to plan to get to my destination as late as possible, if it can’t be avoided and is a late / overnight flight with an early landing I try to get as much sleep as possible but planes are usually too hot for me to get too much and no fucker will open the window.

It works for me.

Oh and I don’t drink alcohol before flying or on plane

^ This is the way.
I’ve spent the last 25+ years flying all over for work and is pretty much what I try to do. I just haven’t mastered the ‘no alcohol’ bit though!

Still have it. Ten years old this year ; )
