3.4. Prioritize Afternoon or Evening Flights to Minimize Time Zone Differences

Choose flights departing Hanoi in the afternoon or evening (02:00 - 08:00 PM) rather than morning departures. This timing allows you to sleep during the trans-Pacific flight and arrive in the USA during evening hours, which aligns better with your natural sleep cycle. By arriving when it is bedtime in America, you can rest immediately and wake up refreshed the next morning, significantly reducing jet lag compared to morning arrivals that disrupt your sleep pattern.

3.5. Choosing Comfortable Clothing for Long Flights

Avoid tight or restrictive garments, as they may cause discomfort and limit movement, especially during longer journeys. Cabin temperatures can vary, so packing a light sweater or scarf is a good precaution. In addition, slip-on footwear can make it easier to move around the cabin or go through airport security smoothly.

Vietnam Airlines recommends choosing lightweight, breathable clothing that allows for easy movement
