A layover in Astana (NQZ) is a chance for crews to reset before the next sector — if the rest window is protected. Aircrew Travel plans Astana layovers around the crew, not the other way round.
Protecting the rest window
Strategic napping and light exposure help crews cope with the window of circadian low after landing in Astana. Aircrew Travel pairs fast transfers with quiet rooms so sleep can start sooner.
