Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions travelers ask before booking.

Does drinking water really help on long flights?

Yes — cabin air is very dry, and staying hydrated meaningfully reduces fatigue and discomfort.

Should I sleep on a long-haul flight even if it's daytime at my destination?

It depends on your destination's time zone — aligning your in-flight sleep with your destination's night can ease adjustment.

Is it worth bringing my own travel pillow?

Many frequent flyers find a personal travel pillow meaningfully improves in-flight sleep quality.

How often should I get up and move during a long flight?

Roughly every couple of hours is a reasonable guideline to reduce stiffness and support circulation.

Does alcohol make jet lag worse?

It can, since alcohol worsens dehydration and can disrupt sleep quality during the flight.
