A layover in London (LGW) is a chance for crews to reset before the next sector — if the rest window is protected. Aircrew Travel plans London 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 London. Aircrew Travel pairs fast transfers with quiet rooms so sleep can start sooner.
Beating jet lag in London
Short walks, hydration and avoiding heavy late meals ease the adjustment to Europe time zones during a London layover.
- Get natural daylight at the right local time to shift the body clock
- Stay hydrated and keep late meals light
- Keep the room dark and cool to lengthen usable sleep in London
- Use short naps strategically rather than one long, mistimed sleep
Staying safe and on schedule
Personal safety and predictable logistics let crews actually switch off in London. Dedicated transfers from LGW, briefed drivers and vetted hotels remove the friction that keeps crews on edge.
