Between arrival at FCO and the next report time, a well-run Rome layover is about one thing: quality recovery. Aircrew Travel plans Rome layovers around the crew, not the other way round.
Protecting the rest window
Sleep is the priority. Crews arriving into Rome are often mid-way through a chain of time-zone shifts, so a dark, quiet, cool room close to FCO does more for safety than anything else on the layover.
Beating jet lag in Rome
Beyond sleep, hydration, light meals and gentle movement help crews feel human again in Rome. Properties with a gym, healthy dining and daylight access make a measurable difference.
- 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 Rome
- Use short naps strategically rather than one long, mistimed sleep
Staying safe and on schedule
Knowing the pick-up will be there on time is half of a restful layover. Aircrew Travel manages the Rome transport so crews never have to improvise.
