Hi all

I'm travelling next week AKL-BNE-DXB-GLA (EK435/EK27) and would like some advice on how to sleep as to arrive in Glasgow with the minimal jetlag effects.

I have no status with EK (only *G), but have signed up to Skywards. I intend on using paid generic airport lounge access where I can.

The Air New Zealand forum has a NZ1/NZ2 Sleep Strategy page which helped me last time I went to the UK but this time I'm going the other way.

What would you do? Try stay awake till DXB and then try sleep DXB-GLA?

Which part of the journey do they fly in 'night mode'?

Of course I am stuck in Y, which certainly doesn't help. I'll ask at checkin for the cost to upgrade but I suspect its out of my reach. (Cant check online as flight booked by company TA)

Cheers

Matt
