[quote=Anonymous]I used to fly to Australia rather regularly before the pandemic. I agree with the majority that one week is too short - especially if that includes the travel time. I have done it for an important event but really regretted having so little time for such a long trip. Couple of unsolicited tips for when you go though - try and stay up until the evening on day 1 - drink more coffee than usual if you have to. If you can stay up to the evening and sleep through the night it is much easier to get used to the 13-16 hour time difference. Return to US is the worst for jet lag. So try not to plan anything important for at least a week after you get back. We take melatonin to help sleep. There is homeopathic anti jet leg medicine that you can take every two hours on the flight over and it helps a little as does drinking lots of water. I have heard that flight prices from Oz to Aus have dropped dramatically over past few weeks but not sure if that is true leaving from here.. Also there is so much to see and do - even if you go for 2-3 weeks you will need to research and figure out what is most appealing to you Good luck! [/quote]
