Between arrival at CGN and the next report time, a well-run Cologne layover is about one thing: quality recovery. Aircrew Travel plans Cologne 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 Cologne. Aircrew Travel pairs fast transfers with quiet rooms so sleep can start sooner.
Beating jet lag in Cologne

- Stay hydrated and keep late meals light
