Air Travel Tool: Jet Lag Advisor

Monday, June 12th, 2006

Here’s a good web tool provided by the people at British Airways: the Jet Lag Advisor. They call it the “ultimate jet lag advisor,” and since there doesn’t seem to be much competition they’re probably right. Check out the jet lag app here. This is what BA writes about it:

Jet lag occurs when the body clock is disrupted by crossing a number of time zones. The symptoms can include fatigue, disorientation and an inability to sleep.

Working in conjunction with the UK’s leading sleep expert, Dr. Chris Idzikowski, we have developed the ultimate jet lag advisor. By answering a few simple questions regarding your recent or planned flights, we can advise you on the best things to do to minimise your jet lag.
