Years before it begins offering the longest direct flights in the world, Australian airline Qantas says it is making in-flight improvements to help ultra-long-haul customers combat jet lag.
from Qantas, still-unpublished research found that passengers who were on the flight with a specialized schedule reported less severe jet lag, experienced better quality of sleep and showed better cognitive performance for two days after the flight.
She said that for flights that left New York at 9 p.m., passengers had longer light exposure and ate a meal at the beginning of the flight. Then they were put in about 10 hours of darkness, followed by a wake-up and breakfast before arriving in Sydney, where it was morning.On a November 2019 trial flight, passengers had wearable devices to track their movement, sleep and exposure to light.
The research from the test flights will be incorporated into lighting schedules and menu planning for the flights.Postnova said in her email that researchers plan to write the results for publication, but may wait for more data from a larger study.
