Great stuff as always Jeb. If you did this for a living ( as in Pilots and Cabin crew) you would learn how to adjust pretty quickly but of course each destination is different. As someone who works weird hours myself I find if you keep to a strict regime when it comes to when to sleep and when to wake up helps! A lot of course depends on which direction you are flying etc etc and what time you land as well. and when your next departure is et al! Fantastic insight ( all bit a short one ) into what the crew go through! Thanks mate!

As an airline pilot, the trick to fighting jetlag, for me, is to REMAIN ON MY HOME TIME ZONE. If I'm flying east, if I normally go to bed at 10 PM at home, on the east coast, I need to go to sleep around 1-2 in the morning. Plan out my sleep schedule. It can be difficult, but you get used to it after awhile. What sucks are the very early showtimes on the east coast. At home, it could be 1 am.

Cheers Jeb! Cool seeing the 767s! Particularly as I get older I really struggle with working nightshifts so hats off to the crews that do this. The constant fighting of your own body clock is really a tough job! Without wanting to sound harsh, the most difficult part of being a pilot would have to be NOT falling asleep on the flight deck.

Its a three day/2 night trip. And you, or anyone else, will NOT get two full nights of sleep. Accept and understand this, and make the best of what sleep you do get. Oh, and that cheeseburger is one of my favorites! I was surprised you took a center (non window) seat there. The -400 is still a pretty sweet ride.

Thanks for showing people how hard transatlantic flights can be for us crewmembers. Sleep deprivation is no joke and it is hard to enjoy the layover in a cool new city with so little time but we do it, enjoy it, and still go right back with a smile on our face! Loved the video.

From a dear pilot friend of mine. They have to eat something totally different then what the passengers have! Just incase of food contamination aka food poisoning! So yea pilots eat different meals not associated with what passengers eat

Nice video, but United is Hot Garbage and as a Pilot I can tell you its much different than what most people think. The employees are great, but the United Management is taking this Airline to the bottom.

Why do you always pretend to drink? It's really obvious you just let the drink wash your two front teeth momentarily and you do this in alot of videos. It's strange and kinda nasty. But why Jeb?

This is actually one of the best videos you have made. My dad was a Delta captain for 30 years doing mostly international flights and I went on multiple flights with him so I feel your pain haha

I used to be EWR based doing those flights. I prefer domestic flying and staying close to my natural body clock. If I went to bed as early as you did in MUC, I would be awake after a few hours.

Im a flight attendant and what you have to do is stay awake to be on track with your schedule for the crew van back to the airport. So you only take small naps or you will be up like you were

Hey Jeb. at 8. 46 in the video, your time is off. you're showing only 5 hours difference between Munich and Newark. I guess you were a little bit tired. :) Thanks for another great video.

I paused the video and quizzed myself about what plane that was. I wasn't entirely confident it was the -400. That is a cool big airplane, but it is so unremarkable looking!

Great video. Ive got a few friends who are crew and its amazing how they adjust to different time zones. Funnily enough Ive just spent around 12 hours in Munich too, great city.

Im only 14, but I already know that I want to be a pilot when I grow up. I would like to fly for Delta or United. Maybe I will have the honor to be your pilot one day! :D

Jeb appreciate you enduring this schedule to bring us this vlog! Always wondered how the crew does it. Can you interview them during flight? Maybe little bit? Lol

Love your videos.
However, I can't believe that you travelled like a flight crew, yet you didn't interview or include any of them in the video.

Great to see a different 'take' on travel. What I'd like next is a series devoted to the real heroes - the aircraft. What they accomplish in one week etc

Jeb, did you know that Air Canada now flies the brand new Airbus A220-300? It has a 2-3 configuration just like Delta's Airbus A220-100.
