You need to account for how far ahead or behind the destination is from your home, and whether you’re flying east or west. If you’re not flying on a light-optimised flight, you could try to adjust your light exposure yourself, though Postnova acknowledges this can be “tricky”. “And we also saw that their objective alertness was higher for two days after the flight.” “Self-reported jet lag was shorter in the optimised group,” Postnova says. Instead of keeping the cabin in darkness for most of the journey, which is what airlines typically do, the scientists tailored the timing of light exposure on the flights to help their subjects shift their clocks in the right direction.Ĭompared with a control group, their findings were small-scale but promising. ![]() Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning With this front of mind, Postnova and her colleagues have been conducting experiments with Qantas, to see if adjusting the lights on long-haul flights – such as the new 16-hour non-stop flight from Auckland to New York – helps minimise jet lag. Sitting in bright light at the right time of day or night either delays or advances your circadian clock, bringing it closer to the environment you’re travelling to. ![]() Photograph: James D Morgan/Qantasīy controlling your light exposure, you can help those clocks adjust. However, between Caribbean’s limited selection and the wider range of London Fog bags there are clear differences between storage capacity and the materials used.An experimental Qantas flight from Sydney to New York in 2019, where University of Sydney researchers adjusted passengers’ light exposure in the hopes of reducing jet lag. These bags include options for short trips for work and longer trips for vacation with the only major difference between both brands being their catalogue size. In comparison, London fog typically employs somewhat weaker materials but with added space for longer stays away from home.Ĭaribbean Joe and London Fog are both brands known for their fantastic sets and single pieces which are ideal for extended stays out of town. However, it’s clear from their limited selection and the quality of those bags that Caribbean Joe uses materials with mid-range durability’s for a lightweight travel dream with a fair amount of space. London Fog Luggage – Which is the best pick?īased on our research and bags reviewed and the fact that there are more suitcases in the London Fog catalogue than the current Caribbean Joe catalogue, it’s hard to make a distinct brand choice as to which is definitively better. ![]()
