Crossing time zones into Dhaka (DAC) takes a toll — recovery has to be deliberate. Aircrew Travel plans Dhaka around the crew, not the other way round.
Timing light and sleep in Dhaka
Strategic naps beat one long, mistimed sleep when crews stage through Dhaka across the window of circadian low.

Avoiding heavy late meals and alcohol protects the quality of sleep before the next duty out of DAC.

- Keep the room dark, cool and quiet
- Hydrate and keep late meals light

Frequently asked questions
How do crews beat jet lag on a Dhaka layover?
Well-timed daylight, hydration, light meals and strategic naps — helped by a quiet hotel close to DAC.
Does hotel choice affect jet lag recovery in Dhaka?
Very much. A short transfer from DAC and a genuinely dark, quiet room give crews more usable recovery time.
