✨ Ever dreamed of visiting a country that puts happiness before GDP?

Welcome to Bhutan, a hidden kingdom nestled in the Himalayas where gross national happiness is a government priority.

With its sustainable tourism model and limited visitor numbers, every moment in Bhutan feels personal, peaceful and purposeful.

Jet lag isn’t a vibe... but these tips will have you landing fresh and ready to explore .

Whether you're flying Sydney to Santorini or Cairns to Copenhagen, adjusting your body clock doesn’t have to be a struggle. ✈️

💧Hydrate Like a Pro: Skip the booze and double down on water. Dry cabin air and dehydration are major jet lag culprits.

☀️ Sync With the Sun: Start adjusting your sleep schedule a few days before you fly. Aim to get sunlight in the morning when you land, it resets your body clock faster.

😴 Nap with intention: If you must nap, keep it under 30 minutes. Anything longer will mess with your internal rhythm.

👀 Say No to Seatback Screens: The blue light from in-flight screens messes with melatonin production. Switch to a book or offline downloaded podcast to wind down.

🌞 Pick Flights That Land in Daylight: Whenever possible, choose flights that land in the morning or early afternoon — exposure to natural light is your best tool for syncing up.
