VÉLA reads your schedule and shows you what your body clock will be doing — duty by duty, timezone by timezone. What to expect. How to prepare. Built by crew, because someone had to.

Important

VÉLA is a personal lifestyle planning tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical, health, or safety advice. Readiness scores are estimates for personal planning only—not for safety-critical or fitness-for-duty decisions. VÉLA is not part of any airline Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS) and does not replace your operator’s fitness-for-duty requirements or professional medical advice.

Your job breaks your body’s clock

The galley at 3am. The jumpseat during taxi. The layover that should have been a city but was just blackout curtains and room service. You know the feeling. What’s been missing is something that tells you what to do about it — before you’re already in it.

VÉLA reads your roster and shows you what your body clock will be doing, duty by duty. Not after the fact. Before you even pack your bag.

The Departure

Your report time is 02:00. Your body thinks it’s the middle of the night — because it is. VÉLA saw this coming three days ago.

The Layover

30 hours in Melbourne. Your body clock is sitting somewhere over the Indian Ocean. VÉLA shows you when rest will help most, so you can actually use this layover.

The Return

You’re home. Your days off start now. VÉLA shows you why the first 24 hours matter most — and what to do with them.

Your body clock has a logic. VÉLA speaks it.

Every time you feel wrecked after a short trip, or strangely fine after a long one — that’s your circadian rhythm doing something specific and predictable.

It’s not random. It’s not just “jet lag.” And it’s not something you have to keep figuring out alone. VÉLA combines your actual roster with published circadian science — and translates it into something you can actually use. No jargon. No guesswork. Just your body clock, made readable.

DXB–JFK

Your DXB–JFK pattern pushes your low point to 04:00 body time on day two. Here’s what that means for your layover.

Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Day 4
Day 5

Flying East

Flying east is harder than flying west. Here’s exactly why your Melbourne turns always hit differently — and what to do before you land.

Optimal Sleep: 22:00–06:00

Aligns with your rhythm on Day 3

Light Exposure: 08:00

Reset circadian rhythm eastward

Recovery Priority: Sleep first

Fatigue debt highest first 12 hours

Your Day Off

Your body clock didn’t reset on your day off. VÉLA shows you where it actually is before your next duty starts.

Body clock position: Still 4 hours behind home time

Next duty in: 18 hours — partial recovery window

Recommended: Sleep before 23:00, light at 07:30

Know what’s coming. Know what to do.

Most crew go into every trip reacting. VÉLA puts you a step ahead. Upload your roster and VÉLA gives you a clear picture of what your body clock will need — and when. Simple, specific, and built around your actual schedule. Not generic advice. Yours.

Sleep Timing

Your estimated best sleep window before Day 3 duty is 22:00–06:00. Planning around it can help you feel more rested for the jumpseat.

Light Exposure

Tomorrow at 07:00, get outside. Ten minutes of morning light after that overnight sector will start pulling your body clock back where it belongs.

Recovery Priority

You just landed. Your body is asking for one thing right now — and it isn’t the hotel gym. Sleep first. Everything else can wait 12 hours.

Built by crew.

This is where VÉLA came from. Not a strategy session. A crew member who got tired of asking the same questions as everyone else — and getting nothing back.

“Early in my flying career, I was struggling to adjust to the job. Not the service. Not the passengers. The schedule. What it was doing to my body, my sleep, my life outside the aircraft.

I remember thinking — why has no one built something for this? Why does no one have our backs?

So I decided to build it myself. Using what I was living, and what crew around me were telling me. VÉLA exists because that question had no answer.

But I can only see so far from where I’m standing. Now I need you too.”
