Thought I would share a chat I had with ChatGPT about how the Rams would be traveling to Australia..
Although McVay hasn’t shared exact details (smart), the consensus is they will travel and arrive the day they play, then return immediately. SF by contract will travel a week early. While managing jet lag is the most severe part of the journey, here is what I got back about the Rams suggested 1 day plan:
Since you are only in Australia for one single day, your strategy changes completely: do not try to adjust to Australian time.
Instead, you should stay on Pacific Time (PT) as much as possible to avoid a double-jet-lag cycle that will exhaust you for weeks. Australia (AEST) is 17 hours ahead of Pacific Time, meaning their 9:00 AM workday is your 4:00 PM afternoon. By treating Sydney time as an afternoon-to-late-night shift, you can survive the 24 hours without breaking your body clock.I then used a hypothetical
12 Midnight PT departure time, so they arrive at 6 am Australis (AEST) time (they play at 10:30 AEST):
Since your flight leaves at 12:00 AM Midnight PT and you are only staying for one single day, you must sleep immediately when you board. Because Australia (AEST) is 17 hours ahead, a midnight PT departure lands around 6:00 AM local Australian time two days later. By forcing yourself to sleep during the first half of the flight, you protect your home biological night and wake up energized just as you land in the Australian morning.Sound like a plan to me.
