[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP who said 8pm.  Eat dinner at 5 or 6.  Just take sleeping pills on the plane and make sure you get at least 4 hours of sleep.  You will not only be fine but have fun.  Freaking out about it won't help.[/quote]

OP here. This was the original plan but the new flight takes off a 6:10pm our time and it’s only 6 hours long. So to get 4 hours we’d need to be asleep by 8pm. It’s not that we aren’t willing to try - we are - but it just seems difficult. I’m so annoyed at Virgin. We chose them over others because they had one of the later flights. Ugh. [/quote]

Try not to overthink this. You might feel great on arrival day, you might not. But it’s a day and you will be fine the next day. I travel to London several times a year and I’m usually fine on arrival day with a morning shower, coffee, and walking. [/quote]

Mostly agree with this, but I sleep horribly on planes, and even in my 20s, had a very bad day of arrival after maybe 2 hours sleep on the plane, and the 2nd day was not totally back to normal. Everyone is different. Having done this a few times now, one thing I would be sure of is that you have nothing scheduled before noon or 1 PM the day AFTER you arrive. My kids have always slept super late that first night- never up before 11 AM, even if they went to bed by 9 or 9:30 PM.[/quote]
