A layover in Shanghai (PVG) is a chance for crews to reset before the next sector — if the rest window is protected. Aircrew Travel plans Shanghai layovers around the crew, not the other way round.
Protecting the rest window
Sleep is the priority. Crews arriving into Shanghai are often mid-way through a chain of time-zone shifts, so a dark, quiet, cool room close to PVG does more for safety than anything else on the layover.
Beating jet lag in Shanghai
Short walks, hydration and avoiding heavy late meals ease the adjustment to Asia Pacific time zones during a Shanghai 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 Shanghai
- 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 Shanghai transport so crews never have to improvise.
