I usually don't fare well with jet lag, but this combo has been the worst thus far. Europe doesn't really bug me any more. Anything in Asia Pac kills me..
Yeah, I have the same problem traveling to Asia (and it looks like several other posters here have the same issue). TPAC flights seems to be the worse in terms of jet lag effect. By contrast, when flying to Europe (well...Western Europe anyway), the jet lag effect is not as severe or pronounced.

Not sure entirely why, maybe it has something to do with crossing the international date line?
