Avoid Jet Lag On Airline International Travel
There's nothing more aggravating than arriving at your destination groggy and red-eyed. Jet lag makes clear thinking difficult, leading to bad decisions at international business meetings, and recreational travelers find it detracts from the enjoyment of their hard-earned and time-limited vacations. Symptoms include fatigue and general tiredness, inability to sleep at night, loss of concentration, headaches, malaise and disorientation. It is caused by the disruption of biological rhythms as a result of rapid transitions across multiple time-zones. Such desynchronization of circadian rhythms also affects employees who transfer to night shifts.

Air travel has become widespread throughout the United States and throughout the world. Commercial aviation carries millions of passengers on tens of thousands of aircraft. Generally, the weight of a specific passenger, or the weight of their luggage, is of little consequence in the operation of a commercial jet. Over a long period of time, airlines have developed statistical information as to the average weight of the passenger and luggage. This information is used to determine safe weight loads for the specific aircraft, fuel loading requirements for specific flights, and the amount of cargo that they may be able to load on any individual flight.

New York, NY (PRWeb) November 21, 2006 -- Etihad Airways, the national Airline of the UAE, has been voted the Airline of the Year in the Middle East by the Pax International Magazine Readership Awards.
The awards, known as the "Oscars" of the travel catering industry, aim to recognize excellence in performance, achievement and product development across air, cruise, land and rail. The results were based on 2,000 nominations polled via the magazine's website over a 12 month period.
"Etihad prides itself on continually seeking to challenge traditional industry norms to provide the best possible levels of hospitality across our international network," said James Hogan, CEO, Etihad Airways
"With cuisine being such a fundamental part of the Etihad travel experience, it is a wonderful honor to be recognized in such a key industry title and this award - one that is voted on by travel professionals - is an achievement that we value greatly."
The airline's innovative approach to food services was singled out as a key factor in its success, reflecting the strong service philosophy which has always been at the core of Etihad's developments.
From the outset Etihad has insured its high standards are reflected as much in the quality of cuisine, the element of choice, the flexibility of meal arrangements and the level of service as the meal presentation and décor.
Etihad's menus are tailor-made according to a variety of factors, including flight destination, length of flight and Guest profile, in order to determine the best possible menu options for that particular flight.
"As Etihad's global network continues to grow, we will look to broaden our on-board cuisine further still to reflect the ongoing expansion of our worldwide destinations," added Geert W. Boven, VP Commercial, Etihad Airways
"With the introduction of further 'fine dining' elements and menu concepts within our new routes, including our unique Mezze and Tapas-style menus which are featured on our new daily Abu Dhabi - New York service, we are confident that Etihad will continue to stand out as an industry leader in this field."
Another attribute evident in Etihad's catering is its "fresh obsessed" focus, with a clear emphasis on serving freshly harvested and locally available fruits and vegetables to insure the highest quality meal experience.
"As the world's leading new airline, Etihad has already achieved impressive milestones in its three years of operation," concluded James Hogan, Etihad CEO.
"By receiving the Pax International Magazine Readership Award in the same week as we celebrate our third anniversary, we are once again demonstrating the impact Etihad is making at every level in the air travel industry."
