Eastward jet lag is worse. Here's why - CNN.com

Read the full article: Eastward jet lag is worse. Here's why - CNN.com:

"The model shows that when your eastbound trip is long enough, the pacemaker cells adjust themselves to move the brain clock backward. This "wrong direction" is what makes it extra hard to recover from long-distance eastward travels. When you go east and cross nine time zones, instead of adjusting nine hours forward, the brain clock sets 15 hours backward. This is the kind of travel where jet lag is the toughest to overcome."

Google Quick Flight Search - I Love It

I love Google's new flight search feature.

Plan your next trip with the new flight schedule feature (an official Google blog post).

I use Google Search for most everything that I do. So it's only natural to hunt for flights via Google, and avoid the multiple clicks in travel websites.

Check it out!  Use Google Search and type things like:

• flights from san francisco to minneapolis
• flights from sfo to pdx
• flights from sfo

It's fun, cool, and useful.

Air Travel Affects Taste Buds

According to the article:

"When’s the last time you enjoyed your in-flight meal? Your answer is probably “never.” And with the first weekend in August being one of the busiest times of year to fly, flight attendants are likely bracing themselves for a new onslaught of complaints about flavorless airline grub.

But is in-flight food really so bad, or is our perception of it just a little off? As it turns out, there’s a scientific reason why food is less savory at 30,000 feet."

Jerk Traveler Worse Than Big Carry-On Rule Breaker

Image via Wikipedia

The JetBlue attendant meltdown sure struck a chord with folks.  This SF Gate article stirred up a litany of comments, Worse on a plane: Oversized carry-on or jerk passenger?

I'd say it depends.  If the oversized offender took up space over my seat, was impolite, and bonked me on the head, then that person is worse.  If the jerk is just all out obnoxious, they should win easily, hands-down.

Wishing you safe, sound, and peaceful travels!
