Netjets US Winter 2023

TAKING OFF
W
ITH SEVERAL HOLIDAYS PEPPERED THROUGHOUT THE QUARTER, IT
LEADS TO AN UPTICK IN TRAVEL—WHAT WE CALL OUR “PEAK PERIOD.”
With many Owners taking the opportunity to spend time with
family and friends, it’s a good reminder to do what we can to
stay healthy throughout the season. We share this as we read the latest Mayo Clinic
research on jet lag.
On pages 35-36, Dr. Vanichkachorn of Mayo Clinic’s Aerospace Medicine team estimates
that it takes about one day per time zone you cross to adjust to your location. He also
offers fantastic tips to lessen the jet lag when flying with us.
This insight may have proven helpful for recent passengers on our longest flight ever
in terms of time (a NetJets US Global 7500 flew from Hong Kong to Manchester,
New Hampshire). That 15-plus hour flight might typically lend to a day’s-long recovery;
however, we are hopeful that the comfort of NetJets—in addition to Mayo Clinic’s
advice—can allow you to start your vacations (jet-lag free!) upon arrival.
As you embark on your travels over the next couple of months, we wish you and your
family a safe and healthy holiday season.
Only NetJets!
