Q2: Long distance trips likely result in big time differences! What are your tips & tricks for avoiding jet lag? #ExpediaChat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2 I sleep on plane and get up walk often #ExpediaChat #sweepstakes
A2: Hydration is essential. Otherwise, eat lots of protein, get some rest and spend time in the sunlight #expediachat #sweepstakes https://t.co/9SZ7sIC9s9
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2: Don't drink. Even though every fiber of your being wants to lubricate the pain of long distance trips away. Don't nap, just ease into their time as soon as you can #Expediachat
replying to @SandiMcKenna @SandiMcKenna A2 - like to set my watch at takeoff to the arrival time of my destination. Get your mind right! #expediachat #sweepstakes
replying to @Expedia @Expedia a2 Avoid Coffee, the bar and arriving at night #ExpediaChat #sweepstakes
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2 get enough rest and if you can’t do that then strong coffee and lots of it! #ExpediaChat #Sweepstakes
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2 #ExpediaChat I try to stay awake on day one until a reasonable bedtime, then get a full night’s sleep. Always feel worse when I have a nap on arrival. #sweepstakes
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2: set clock to the local time when you get on the plane. Take No Jet Lag pills and perhaps melatonin #ExpediaChat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2: Well...I would like to say "business class" so I can get some sleep but I don't always have such luxury in my travel budget so I'll say...don't be afraid to rest when you arrive at a place! #ExpediaChat #Sweepstakes
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2: When you get to your destination, resist the urge to nap. Stay UP until it's bedtime there! #ExpediaChat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2: A lot of mini power naps, tons of hydration and snacks. Don't try to push thru Jetlag your body needs the adjustment period!#ExpediaChat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2. I try to already adjust myself to my destination's local time and sleep or stay awake during certain hours including eating #ExpediaChat #Sweepstakes
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2: Plenty of rest, plenty of water and electrolytes, go as slow as possible when traveling around the airport, between flights, after flights. #ExpediaChat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2. Keep hydrated before, during, and after your flight. Nothing beats water! #ExpediaChat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2: Tips please! I’ll be traveling with my kids over 9 time zones! #ExpediaChat
replying to @SandiMcKenna @SandiMcKenna A2: Compression socks, lots of water, stretching prior to boarding, and no alcohol on the flight. I try to work out or walk around as this also helps. #ExpediaChat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2 Oh man! I’m the worst! I had to blog about it so I wouldn’t forget the tips! #expediachat https://t.co/8an1N2oblI
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2: Sadly, I haven't mastered this yet- I'll be taking notes on this one! #Expediachat
A2: I can’t sleep on planes, so I try to time my arrivals to be in the evening and just go to bed after a long flight. #ExpediaChat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2 Definitely sleep on the flight. Even if for an hour, it helps! #ExpediaChat #Sweepstakes
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2. I have no tips, but I'd love to hear some! #ExpediaChat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2: Two tricks, depending on the the time zones you're changing. 1) red eye flights, 2) stay on the schedule of the destination when you arrive. Don't follow the schedule of your native time zone. #ExpediaChat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2 sleep on board and set watch to time zone of wherever ur going just so ur body and mind start adjusting #ExpediaChat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2 don’t be like me...”enjoying” dinner in the Netherlands :/ #expediachat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2. I try to catch some shuteye on the plane and have comfy shoes and socks on #expediachat #sweepstakes
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2: It’s true! We make sure to tailor our meals and activities with the final destination time zone. & squeezing in exercise 🧘🏼♀️🏋🏼♀️ #Expediachat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2: Sleep on the flight, not after you land. Unless you're going to Peru or somewhere with high altitude; you'll have to slow down and acclimatize regardless. I learned that the hard way in Cusco earlier this year. https://t.co/D1qNKIdZ0H #ExpediaChat #Sweepstakes
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2 I plan the first day where we do nothing but catch up on sleep! I can’t sleep on the plane #ExpediaChat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia @Expedia A2: avoid caffeine drinks especially coffee and drink a lot of water. #ExpediaChat #Sweepstakes
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2: Experiencing some epic jetlag right now! Just got back from Seoul. Tips: Stay active on arrival. Walk the city, eat dinner at the local time, and try to stay awake as long as you can. When you wake up early, make the most of it and explore! #ExpediaChat #sweepstakes @Expedia
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2: I have yet to figure that out...but then again I have not gone around the globe...not yet anyway...Hmmm? #ExpediaChat #Sweepstakes
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2 all the best tips already posted. I. Like status upgrades for comfort seats to stretch out and get shut eye. #ExpediaChat
A2: I like to exhaust myself before a flight to help me sleep on the plane. Usually this means pulling an all-nighter, exercising, and popping a benedryl. Actually, that doesn't sound very healthy, does it. #expediachat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2. Sleep on the plane, Try overnight flights, Stay hydrated #ExpediaChat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2: I stay up as late as I can when going to Europe. I then crash in the early, waking up in the morning of the next day. Across the country I try to stay as close to east coast time as possible #ExpediaChat

A2: Stay hydrated, change your schedule ahead of time if you can, and more jet lag tips: https://t.co/h6eUIjBHeV #ExpediaChat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2 I break up my trips: MIA - LHR - DEL, you arrive into London in the morning, quick shower and then you have the day in the city and back to the airport for your night flight ✈️ 😴 I find this also helps me to adjust to the time difference faster 👍🏻😄#Sweepstakes #Expediachat
A2: Adjust your sleep/wake times to your destination, which for me usually means sleeping on the plane for most of the flight. Bring eyemask, neck pillow & earplugs to help w/slumber #ExpediaChat #Sweepstakes
replying to @Robby_DeGraff @Robby_DeGraff @Expedia A2: This! I always carry electrolyte tablets when I travel 👍 #expediachat
replying to @Expedia @Expedia A2: I try to sleep during the whole flight so I’m rested when I get off the plane. @Expedia #ExpediaChat #Sweepstakes @AirChinaNA
