Fly direct to Melbourne. Do
NOT fly through Sydney. There is nothing worse
when you are tired. The change of airports in
Sydney is complex. Sydney is fabulous - but
see it after WCE 2008, not before!
Fly straight through. Do not
break your journey. It is better to ARRIVE 2
DAYS EARLY in Melbourne and then recover. We
will have Recovery Activities for you!
Fly as few stops as possible.
See 1 and 2 above.
Aisle seats. These permit
more exercise on the plane. Every hour or two
is recommended.
Drink 3 TIMES your normal
amount of water on the plane. Dehydration is
a major medical problem of long haul flights.
The aisle seat also helps bathroom trips! Take
your own plastic bottle of water on board.
Be teetotal on the flight.
If you want to drink alcohol on board, then
drink 4 TIMES your usual amount of water.
Remove your contact lenses
and use spectacles on board.
Use a skin moisturiser/spray
to refresh your skin. DEHYDRATION is the reason
for adhering to 5-7 above.
Get out into the sun as soon
as you arrive.
Get out into the sun. No -
it’s not a mistake. It really is worth
saying twice. Spend as much time in the MELBOURNE
SUN as possible for the first two days. This
will accelerate your time zones faster.
