Common questions about Taipei to Melbourne route

For neutral travel, daytime flights arriving in the evening tend to minimize jetlag impact.

Recovery typically takes 2.0 days conservatively, or 1.3 days with aggressive light therapy and melatonin timing. Westbound travel is generally easier as your body naturally delays its clock.

Eastbound travel is generally harder for jetlag recovery because it requires advancing your circadian clock, which the body naturally resists. Westbound travel involves delaying your clock, which is more natural. As a rule of thumb, eastbound recovery takes about 1.5 days per hour of shift vs 1 day for westbound.
