Wow.. only 9 hours in air

The best part of trip to europe (after having several trips to US) is the short and sweet trip duration. The trip is so short that you can manage to do a round trip over the weekend. It is just like going to some place like goa (from mumbai) for a long weekend and coming back.

The jet lag is also managable. I did a small comparison about how it would feel to work after the trip with the jet lag:
A) Going from India to Europe: Even with Jet lag, going to work will be like going late to office and coming home late: Like you may be going late at around 1:00 pm and returning at 9 pm. Nothing new..
B) Going from Europe to India: Its is exact opposite. You would feel like you start very early and finish of very early. Something like starting for work at 7 in the morning and finishing by 2 pm.
C) Going from India to USA & vice-versa: It is like a night shift. Starting late in the night for work (something like 10:00 pm) and you cannot manage anything beyond 2-3 am. The jet lag is severe both ways.
