Not all layovers are equal. Time on the ground in Manchester (MAN) can either restore a crew or quietly erode their next duty. Aircrew Travel plans Manchester 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 Manchester. Aircrew Travel pairs fast transfers with quiet rooms so sleep can start sooner.
Beating jet lag in Manchester

- Stay hydrated and keep late meals light

- Use short naps strategically rather than one long, mistimed sleep
Staying safe and on schedule
