,,,,.Whether you’re flying business class or economy class, you cross the same number of time zones, so logically, the jet lag felt by passengers should be similar. But why is the jet lag less severe when flying economy class?

According to the traveller website, business class passengers have the advantage even before boarding.Often, business class passengers can enjoy luxurious lounge services before boarding, where they can relax in a quiet space. The food, salads, water, and juice are usually made from higher-quality ingredients, and there are even showers available for use before the flight. Once onboard, the larger seats allow passengers to stretch out, with some even able to lie completely flat, enabling business class travelers to sleep in comfort.

Unlike economy class passengers who are woken up at fixed times for meals, business class travelers can adjust their meal schedules according to their needs. They can use their time on the plane to handle business or for entertainment as they prefer.

After arriving at the destination, they will naturally be more energetic than economy-class passengers and adapt more easily to the local time zone.
