- Watch this video to see the ultimate way to fly to Europe and virtually eliminate the effects of Jet Lag to travel to Europe!
Jet Lag may be the WORST part of traveling to Europe, but with these “not-so-secret” flights, there’s a way to make the trip East from the USA a whole easier. In this video, we’ll share a few jet lag tips to help you make the trip from the US to Europe a little easier! We flew with United Airlines in Polaris Business Class from Newark and started our time in Europe completely ready for the experience.
The jet lag recovery tips in this video are just some travel hacks we’ve learned. But the real fun will come in the comments below as other travelers share their tips and tricks about how to travel to Europe, so please leave your ideas and have a look through other ones below!
Normally, a trip from the US East Coast to Europe involves a painful start to the trip thanks to that groggy feeling you can get when you don’t sleep on the red eye flight over, but you don’t have to feel that way! Watch this video to see how!

Jet Lag: The Game
Thought the same
I thought so for a minute that maybe Jeb was doing some crazy thing with them! One can dream! 😊
How did you guess a RUclips channel name
dang that collab sounds like a dream
@@legendaviation9439 yea then I may root for Sam and Jeb and betray Ben and Adam for those episodes. Imagine if it’s a race to complete hub hopping with all the us airlines.
My way of beating jet lag is to fly overnight and stay up the entire day I land in Europe before going to bed at normal time in Europe. Works for me.
On the overnight flight you have no choice arrive at 6 or 7 am and have to wait until 3 pm or later to check in to your hotel.
Same!
I agree, I did a trip to London, England once, having flown from the east coast in an overnight flight and arrived in the morning. I stayed awake and walked all day after reaching London, and then by nighttime there, I was really tired and had to sleep. That too, I usually am not able to sleep on a plane, including overnight flights.
Same here, pretty much. I will allow myself a one hour nap (and no more!) to refresh, but then stay up until an early-ish bedtime, like 9 pm or 10 pm. I'm up early and back on schedule the next day. Never had jet lag going to Europe - but I'm on EST so only six hours difference and it might be harder for folks from the west coast with a nine hour difference.
@@rudraguinit’s difficult to me get asleep on flights too, I have been visiting my sister in Norway and try to stay awake until the time I usually go sleep at home, and don’t feel the jet lag
Back in 1998, I was fed up with the overnight eastbound flights, even in business class, so I was pleased to hear that a couple of airlines had started the morning flights to London. At that time, there were three options - United or BA from JFK and BA from Boston. I chose United and stayed at an airport hotel close to JFK. The hotel wasn't anything special, but, as you saw, it was good to have an empty lounge before departure. Boarding at around 09:00, it felt good to spend my Sunday sitting watching movies and being fed at "normal" meal times. Even better, I arrived at Heathrow around 21:30 local time and found an empty arrivals terminal with no queues. Then, to arrive home and go to bed at normal UK time was such a luxury. Yes, I woke feeling good the next day.
Jet Lag: The Game
BUC-EES!!!!!!
It wasn't new in '98. PA and BA had these morning flights since the 60s.
London is one of the few destinations from the East Coast that has morning departures. I mostly fly to Paris which once had a morning departure but has since been dropped. Airlines prefer the evening departure from the East Coast because it allows them to do a Transatlantic round trip in one day per plane.
For Paris, though, there is a pretty good Plan B: I take the last flight of the day which currently leaves JFK at about 12:30 am, getting into CDG at 1:55 pm. By the time you get out of the airport and into Paris it will be about 4:30 or 5:00 pm. You grab a little early light dinner and you can be in bed by 8:00 pm, which is a reasonable time to fall asleep on a European arrival.
London I think is the only destination that has an east coast morning departure. However, I think that will change in the near future as I'm very certain United, Delta or even JetBlue will announce a daytime Paris flight once their A321XLRs enter service, an aircraft perfect for this role. Don't expect American to do so as they are short on capacity.
This United plane sits overnight and make one of the earliest morning LHR - EWR departures at 7:45 am and arrives in Newark Liberty at 10:20 am ET.
Other advantage: hotel check-in times are generally in the afternoon. Sure you could ask for an early check-in, but you might be denied or they’ll charge for it. Getting in at 7-8am means you’ve got to plan on what to do with your bags (sometimes the hotel will store them) and then plan on being out and about until check-in.
The funniest was our trip to Sydney, we got in early, decided to eat breakfast in the terminal (not great, but not bad), and then slowly make our way to the hotel, who were kind enough to have a room ready because they saw we were international guests. We did a few things in the early afternoon, then decided it was “too early” for dinner at 3pm, so we took a “nap.” Jet-lag must’ve hit as we woke up at 2am! “Guess we’re not doing dinner.” Back to sleep and we had a big complementary breakfast. We were actually ok for the rest of the trip though. Coming back we got in after 9pm, so it was straight to bed.
The pro tip is to book the hotel for the night you fly, tell them you will arrive early morning to hold your room, and then you can check in at 7am and take a shower and nap for 3-4 hours. As long as you only sleep one sleep cycle (~4 hours) your body clock will be fine. Up by 12 Noon exploring the city and sleep regularly that night. This all depends on arrival times. Early morning arrival is best, midday arrival is the worst.
As Jeb said, handling jet lag seems to have a large subjective element. I fly to Europe a lot and have found a system that works for me:
I take evening flights.
I avoid caffeine for 36 hours before the flight.
I try to get up two to three hours early.
I always sleep on the plane. I find sleeping on the plane to be easy, so I am lucky.
I drink coffee when I land and don’t, under any circumstances, sleep during the first day. I get right into the new time zone.
It works for me and I’m not really impacted by jet lag as a result.
I can't agree more, although I travel from the UK to Asia.
The only thing you are really fighting here is the trouble getting asleep on time as per the new time zone and it starts right on board. Apart from caffeine, I skip meals 4-5 hours before the flight and do not eat anything on board (food keeps me awake). But otherwise same protocol really.
So when I fly in the eastward direction, I choose evening flights with some prep the night before.
The way I found to avoid jet lag on overnight flights to Europe: don't sleep on the plane. On my last overnight flight from EWR to Athens, I used my laptop during the entire flight, and had decently fast internet. I was able to catch up on all the RUclips videos I wasn't able to watch before. I was able to get a good amount of work done as well, and when I landed, I was not tired at all, and was able to go to bed at normal time in Athens. As an added benefit, since nearly everyone else on the plane was sleeping, my Wi-Fi was blazing fast. With a VPN, I could effortlessly watch RUclips in 1080p.
Yeah kid, that won’t last much longer.
Enjoy being able to stay awake 30 some hours while you still can
@@congresssux9766 It worked well for me and with Starlink coming soon to planes, allowing for internet speeds in excess of 100mbps, it would be even better. I would never get bored or tired from spending 11 hours on my laptop.
That's what I do to! I can't sleep on planes, so I stay awake. Go to bed at night in Europe and wake up refreshed.
@@shetaz905 Even if the flight is overnight, you could do what I said.
This only works if your flight arrives to Europe or Istanbul in the late afternoon hours, say 4pm, 5pm, etc. Then you can go to bed a 9/9 30pm just fine. But if the flight arrives at 5 30am or 6 30am this logic doesn't work for most adults as you will be completely wrecked the entire next day. In Zurich I was able to check-in to my hotel at 9 45am as they cater to business travelers much better. However, most places will not let you check in until well after 1pm. Booking the hotel the night of your flight is also a good option if you arrive early as you can check in a 8am and sleep.
Great video Jeb. As a business traveler who does a lot of work in Europe I do this trip a lot. My strategy if you are on the late afternoon to evening departure flights is to just keep moving once you get to Europe and take a melatonine to help fall asleep at night. Avoid taking a mid day nap.
Those mid day naps after an overnight flight to Europe will kill your body clock….took me 5 days to adjust my body clock because I took a 3-4 hour nap one time and couldn’t fall asleep that night…it was miserable lol
@@kylefopma4108 It depends on the arrival time and how much you travel. If you arrive on a Dublin or UK flight at 5 30 / 6 30am, most people are not going to be able to stay up the entire flight AND all the next day. It's best to book the hotel the night you fly, check-in to the hotel at 7am and get 3-4 hours of sleep right away. This means you are up by 11-12 Noon and can sleep regularly that night. I've never had a problem with jet lag doing this for years. However, if you sleep for 6+ hours upon arriving your clock is screwed.
@@kylefopma4108 I agree 3-4 hours are way to much, but 1,5 h with a set alarm cllock helps much to regain energy for the rest of the long day.
The vast majority of the time traveling to Europe, the first day is wasted as you get so little sleep on the red-eye flight in my experience, and I definitely think that morning eastbound flights to Europe is a game changer as it allows a full night of sleep so the next day is not wasted.
Especially in Economy, forget it. Arriving in Paris at 6 am and having to wait for your room and dropping your bags is torture. After sighing seeing at 2pm you’re done for the day until the next morning at 3 or 4 am.
Over a 5 year period I made a return trip from Auckland New Zealand to either Heathrow or Birmingham UK 6 times (12 trips). My health management plan was timing my activities according to the destination, then reverse engineering intermediary activities. Flying Emirates, Dubai was a good way-point for that timing.
I made a company rule that all staff flying the same route hoteled at the destination, and set off the next morning after a good sleep. Worked for us all.
I would love to see a video like this for longer flights, such as US to Japan! Love your videos, always very entertaining and informative!
As someone from Nova Scotia it was Great to see a mention of flight availability from Halifax, and your shoutout to the nice views over Nova Scotia in the same video! Thanks for the mentions Jeb!
Another interesting video Jeb. I’ve never done a daytime flight from US back to London. It’s definitely worth considering. Thanks for sharing 👍
With noise cancelling earphones, lay-flat seats, and eye coverings I sleep just fine on overseas flights. When we arrive in the morning I can get my rental car, check into the hotel or stay with family and have breakfast, then start the day without missing a beat.
I cant explain how much I love watching your videos they are amazing!
Great video, I like the daytime options! While on the topic, there is another way to get from the US to Europe without an overnight flight! JetBlue has a BOS-KEF service that leaves at 1230pm arriving to Keflavik around 9:30pm. Then you spend the night in Iceland and take a daytime flight to your final destination anywhere Europe. Slightly longer flights from Iceland down to Europe so it think both of these routes are about the same, except KEF is super easy to navigate.
I like the daylight flights. There used to be a Qantas flight on Thursdays leaving LAX in the morning and arriving in Sydney in the late evening. It was a great flight. Emirates offer a flight that leaves Sydney at 6am that connects with other flights to lots of Europe for an evening arrival on the same day. I think you previously could do that on Cathay to London.
My favorite part of the week...a new video from two of my favorite jet setters!
Thank you for your excellent content. It looks like a lot of work, but you enjoy it. It's also very helpful for me and other travelers to make the best choices.
Omg I’m loving all the shoutouts for my home province of Nova Scotia in this video! we don’t see that too often 😊
Terrific video-I love following your channel for the incredible films, great travelogues and explanations, and your great energy and attitude are so refreshing 🙏✨
Jed your channel is so educational I know what to do look forward to
Nothin like logging on and seeing a new Jeb video!!
Hey Guys. Thanks for sharing your videos. Have a good Memorial day weekend and may God bless you and your family 🙏 💕
Great information to consider and it makes sense!!! Thank you!!!
First time flying to Europe this summer, thanks for the advice
Great Video, Jeb! I was just on the Star Alliance Livery 777 from Lisbon to Newark!
Always love your trips and advice. Funny I am from Greensboro but live in Hartford now and you called that out!
Flew from Chicago to London on AA90 in premium economy in April and it was nice to get to London at 9:30 at night rather than in the morning. Definitely helped with the jet lag taking a daytime flight.
Edit: best part - zero wait for customs on the other side in London.
Look forward to seeing the return trip. It was great meeting the two of you. All the best
The return trip was also jet-lag free🤣 Great to meet you and hope your onward travels were smooth!
Good to see you again, Jeb.
Actually looking into this for our trip to London later this year. Very helpful because we are trying to decide when to leave
Nice report Jeb (and Suzanne!). My strategy for any long haul flight is to reset my clock to my destination as soon as I board. Leave your departure time behind you. Plan ahead to getting a night's sleep when you arrive at your 'normal' time. If you arrive in the morning (like you did) then 'push through' as best you can until the evening. Daylight can help your body to fool your circadian rhythm, so resist the temptation to nap in your darkened hotel room if you feel tired in the afternoon!
I had a trip in January flying from London to SFO and back from LAX. Both flights departed around 4-5pm.
The SFO flight arrived around 7pm local, so I was planning to get a full night's sleep in my hotel, so I dozed a bit during the long flight, but tried to avoid any deep sleep.
The LAX leg arrived in London at 10am local, so I tried to sleep as much as possible after the start of the flight (we departed at midnight London time and arrived at 10am - that's close to a regular London night's sleep!).
Despite being only a 10 day trip (so I probably didn't get fully acclimatised to CA time), I didn't feel any of the typical 'jetlag' symptoms of daytime tiredness. Oh, and Melatonin can help as well.
Edit, my worst experiences have been heading west (eg UK to Australia, so that may be something else to bear in mind?
Last two trips to Europe found me taking a red eye from the west coast to ORD or BOS and then getting comfy in an airport hotel "day use" room. Took a nap during the day and was well rested for the evening flight across the pond. This allowed me to make it through the first day in Europe until the evening, when I then got a relaxing first night's sleep.
The day use rooms are a great benefit!
Enjoyed the video, and the jet lag aspect. A little off topic trivia: I was watching Josh Cahill when your video notification popped on my screen. By the time his 23 minute video was done and I checked on yours it already had 2.7k in views. Amazing how many other people look forward to your videos besides me. Have a fantastic Memorial weekend.
Makes sense! A favorite trip for UAL flight attendants is the 2 day LHR, working a morning flight to LHR, and coming back the next morning. Your body clock almost doesn’t get messed up.
Same for the IAD-based who take UA 122 over and then 925 back at 4pm the next day.
One of my favorite channels on RUclips. See you in the friendly skies brother
5:41 really awesome shot Jen, I can see my house on the bottom of the screen! North shore mass!
Amazing video as always.
At 5:02 - what a view! Staten Island, the Verrazzano Bridge, Brooklyn, Coney Island - and beyond, Jamaica Bay and the Rockaway peninsula.
bing bong
Amazing video guys!!!
Interesting video…from Miami we don’t have any early options.
Oh…and SWEET watch! Love the Parmigiani.
I love your videos! As an aviation geek, your videos teach me so much airlines and planes! Thanks for all the hard work you put into making these!
Great video. I've always wondered if a daytime flight would be "easier" on the body. I'm curious if you would ever talk about your use of points. Thanks for the great content.
Flying outta EWR yessirrrr !! Really like it there . Great video Jeb
Thats an amazing Parmigiani Fleurier, cudos for the choice of watch. Have you ever considered sharing your watch collection and experience? I’ve noticed you have a beautiful collection. Cheers!
Great video! Thanks.
Great video Jeb.
I was wondering the other day about your Hub hoping and airline comparison videos (example low cost comparisons)
A Star Alliance vs One world vs Skyteam. Around the world hub hopping would be epic.
Hiya Jeb. Love your vids. I remamber learning about the first PanAm daylites to LHR whilst I was living in NYC in 1983 .Brilliant, dep JFK at 10 am arr LHR 22.00. Perfect! Seemed such a novelty then.
Great video! My method has always been to take a nap on the hop across the pond, arrive early morning, power through the entire day with lots of coffee, and then go to sleep at a reasonable time in local time. That way, your exhaustion lets you sleep through the night and you wake up at a normal time in the morning. Might change as I grow older though!
Over the years my strategy has changed, but as I approach 70 here is my current plan. I normally fly from LAX to LHR and United has a departing flight around 1 PM, lands at Heathrow appx 7 AM London time. I then go to a dayroom at a T4 hotel (there are usually multiple hotels to choose from). I go to sleep at 10 AM London time, really tired, and sleep for 5 hours ONLY, get up at 3 PM, then transfer to my London hotel. That night I sleep for maybe another 5 hours, getting up at 5 AM or so. And I feel great and I’m ready to go from there.
That is a great idea Jeb! My strategy to avoid jetlag is to drink a lot after dinner and fall asleep, then you're refreshed when you get there in the afternoon. Then you'll just go about your day and be ready to go to sleep in the evening. Thanks for another great video❤✈
I hope you meant drink a lot OF WATER- Not booze. 😂
Nice that you have points.
Hey Jeb love your videos,you have such a great sense of humor..you and the wife are so cute together.
What a beautiful photo of Staten Island!
I flew from Toronto to Reykjavik last summer. Midnight departure after I hadn’t slept well the night before the flight either and they still did a meal service I was very happy about that. I was surprised people wanted to eat so late and not just go to sleep.
Love your videos jeb!
Way back in 1999 I flew on Air Canada's daytime Toronto-Heathrow service (having connected from an Air Canada red-eye that morning from Washington DCA). Arrived Heathrow at 21:00hrs and then had a 2-hour coach journey to Cambridge. Fell straight into bed upon arrival, awoke at 09:00hrs the next morning and... no jetlag! 🙂
Great video Jeb!
Great video. I think the routes between New York and London or Paris as well are also the historic routes in the history of aviation. I like and watch all your videos. 🛫🌎😃
When I was a crew chief in the Air Force, we would frequently fly from IN to England. On our KC-135s, we would takeoff about 8 pm. Everyone onboard would find a place in, under, or on the cargo we were carrying. By the time we landed in England, we were ready to go straight to work.
Jeb, you are the greatest travel RUclipsr!
Jet lag sucks. Thanks for sharing your videos. God bless you and your family 🙏 💕
Hey jeb.
Such a fan of your content an a happy jetsetter. THanks for the tip of europe flights but I'm still waiting the American Hub Hopping video
The key to getting on the local when going to Europe and flying overnight is to stay up as long as you can when you get there. Have something planned for the afternoon, then eat a really early dinner and go to bed. We are usually asleep before 8pm. But, we get the next morning fresh and ready for adventure.
Done many later afternoon departures to Europe, haven’t try the morning ones yet. Definitely an interesting perspective view, and will try this for my next trip. Personally, have been travel to Asia and Europe frequently, jet lag seems not too much of the fact on my body anymore. However, I am always looking for ways to maximize use of times…. Thank you for another great video!
I think London is the ONLY European destination where you get multiple options throughout the day - so you can choose to fly morning, afternoon or evening.
For most other European cities the departure is in the evening or late night red eye flights (departing after 10pm)
I think that United shines with the Polaris lounge. Whenever I’m in Newark and traveling to Portugal on TAP, I always leave terminal B and go to the Polaris lounge instead.
Jeb, Air Canada used to have a flight that left YYZ at around 0900 and arrived in the evening in LHR. Time for a quick pint and light snack when you arrive then to bed. My wife and I came to rely on this as both our families are in Europe. I believe it shortened my jet lag recovery time. Come on Air Canada, BRING IT BACK!
loved the video; going to Europe at the end of the year and I wasnt sure .
This sounds great for East Coast flights!
We tried this from San Francisco recently: There was a relatively late flight (7:30 PM) to Frankfurt with United, scheduled to land at 3:20 PM local time. That's much more manageable than arriving with an earlier flight, which usually flock into FRA between 6 and 11 in the morning. We usually have problems adjusting to being back home after a trip to the US and are jetlagged for days, but this time I managed to work the next day and was back to usual a day later. Would do it again like that
I love Halifax-Stanfield! Such a clean, and organized airport. I arrived from Philly in an A319, which was 20 years old. We had a 2 hour delay but we still made it. The Atlantic on Decent was stunning! I would definitely visit again.
I'll have to try it!
You should the reverse and see if jet lag is worse as well! I only recently discovered there is a LHR-IAD flight that leaves at 8am, arrives 11am. Makes a huge difference!
5:35 shows my hometown Beverly Massachusetts, cool to see it one of your videos
I did this flight with BA in June 2022 with my 2 children. I chose it because i knew doing a 6hr overnight would be bad for the kids - they'd be upset & cranky for not getting enough sleep. Instead they got to watch a couple of movies and we much happier in a daytime flight which meant my husband & I were happy too!
I'm a new subscriber, and this just showed up on my feed, evidently because I've been talking to people about taking the daytime BOS-LHR flight on BA! I usually fall asleep 20 minutes before landing, so I hate red-eyes.
Class as ever.
I’ve just tired United AM flight, normally fly BA, it was miserable going to UK. Coming back to east coast it was easier to adjust to local time. The United flight felt like I wasted an entire day, as it also takes an hr+ to get from Heathrow into London. Your up at 4AM EST and don’t go to bed till 11PM/12AM GMT.
I travel frequently to Ireland. My system is that I go to bed a bit earlier each night a few days before departure. I take an afternoon flight. I eat on the plane, take melatonin and sleep for a few hours which makes me feel refreshed for the 5:15 am arrival in Dublin. Having slept on the flight, I'm more alert for the 3 1/2 hour, early morning drive across Ireland. I don't nap the day of arrival and go to bed at night at the usual time. The next day I'm 100% on Ireland time.
Virgin also has a day flight that I've flown. I wish Delta would add one. It is great flying by day.
Here is a challenge for you: Can you fly the cheapest long haul flight and you have to sit in a middle seat. I am envious of all your first and business class flights. :) Love you work!
Fellow North Carolinian here, I live near RDU and have flown to London on British Airways out of RDU and the service is really good.
Love the Parmigiani Fleurier time piece🧭
Just did essentially the same on American from Chicago to London-flew from our home airport to Chicago the night before and stayed in a hotel then left for London at 8:30am central time. Flying through the day was the best! Essentially no jet lag.
Thanks Jeb and Suzanne for this topic very important to me ! Living in Europe, I have to say that only the perspective to fly back overnight without sleep is a big down point for me to go to America. Next time I go, I will try to plan one of these day flights. Btw BOS-LHR on BA arrives even early enough to allow some connections to Continental Europe. One last point, in a more exotic note: there is one more seasonal weekly daytime transatlantic flight starting 20.06. on a very niche market, and it's even a domestic one: FSP-CDG on Air Saint Pierre.
Once I discovered the day flight, I won’t go any other way. Truly a revelation. You get in tired from traveling all day, and at least for me it totally eliminates jet lag.
I am a flight attendant currently. The way I handle jet lag is: by sleeping at my desired time every day regardless of what time zone. Say I go to bed at 10pm, even if I’m in London, I’ll go to bed at 10pm. Then I come back, and I go to sleep at 10pm when I come back to the east coast. That’s it. It’s worked for me as a flight attendant, and I travel a lot.
From the sublime to the ridiculous, from Australia, where pretty much most O/S flights are long-haul, I had noticed that my jetlag was not such a problem when flying West - following the Sun, compared to going East.
So if doing the SYD/LAX flight for West Coast business destinations, you have to fly East and suck it up, along with about three days of jetlag.
However, for East Coast destinations, I discovered that a Oneworld RTW SYD to LHR, with an overnight sleep there (being tired at normal night-time) followed by a "long lunch " Flight to MIA/JFK/BOS allowed me to arrive fresh and ready for meetings the next day. The return meant continuing onto LAX and then home - all flying West.
Sure, there is an extra 10 hours flight time on the SYD/LHR/East coast route, but the cheaper RTW fare covered the cost of the Hotel and a day in London.
Keep up the great work and it is good to see Mrs B in more vids. 😁😁
Great video as always Jeb and Suzanne! I have a quick question for you both, Jeb and Suzanne, what are your guys favorite aircraft to ride on?
Love your videos love ua ❤
I've taken that same flight before to London. I usually take the daytime flight from IAD because I can't sleep on planes, but during the Heathrow congestion, United cut that flight and I had to take the 6am from IAD to EWR and even managed a short sit in the Polaris lounge...
And I was in that same HGI last night - it's nice to be able to just wake up, shower, and walk across the bridge to the terminal. I don't know if I should tell everyone that this is the Hilton Garden Inn T2/T3 which is connected to the T2 parking garage.
Too bad you couldn't arrange schedules with Swayne Martin, but then you were on a 777 and he's rated for 75s and 76s.
I flew in and out of EWR 88 times one year for work. One thing I found to be more consistent than anything.... if it even sprinkles a drop, you're delayed 2 hours. Once got on UAL flight to ORD from EWR, fell asleep at the gate, slept for 1.5 hours, and woke up just to find out, we were still at the gate and the airport was in gridlock. I do not miss EWR much because of the time I spent waiting on delays in and out of that general area of the country. Glad to see you had clear skies Jeb.
88 times, wow! We’ve had some delays in EWR, but just another reason to fly first thing in the morning!
Good lord. That’s a Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante at 1:55. What a gorgeous watch!
…
I clearly have been salivating over watches for too long. But when you put a $28,000 timepiece casually like that in a RUclips video…
Hey Jeb Brooks,
I been on your channel since the Delta 747 retirement video. I been a long time subscriber. Awesome channel. One of the best channels I ever seen on RUclips. Question. What type of Watch is that?
Hi! Loved this video. Please add official closed captioning rather than the auto-generated. Makes a heck of a difference! Thank you!
Hey hey Jeb brooks!! I’m also in London from Denver and it was my first time on a dreamliner, but the jet lag was terrible!! Have a great day!!
Great video Jeb
We need a one off video of your watch collection!!!
I’ve took this exact flight in 2019, it was honestly wayyyyyyy better than a red eye flight!
Agreed. I took EWR or IAD-LHR daytime flights all the time. But I connect from CLE with a 6am flight. Easier than staying in jersey one night. Also, when you get to London, you’ll sleep just fine since I’m up at 4am for the first flight.
One thing that BA do on many of their red eyes from JFK is their 'club world sleeper', where in business class there is no first meal service, only a full breakfast before landing, so it's straight to sleep once you've taken off
