JET lag is a fact of life in distance flying, be it in a corporate Lear jet or economy class on a budget charter flight.
Rapidly crossing several time zones has a profound effect on the body's natural rhythms, creating a problem for many business travellers whose schedules may not allow them time to recover after a flight.
Medical research has determined that more than 70 per cent of international passengers suffer from jet lag, 20 per cent of them severely.
Symptoms include loss of appetite, disturbed sleep, slowed reflexes and impaired judgment.
A sense of disorientation may persist for some days after the flight.
More importantly, when travelling on business, judgment and reasoning faculties may be affected for a long time.
