The document presents a creative solution to jet lag and travel fatigue called the 'ppod' or people pod, which is an individual passenger bubble fitted to airline seats. This pod allows passengers to control temperature, humidity, noise, and lighting, enhancing their ability to rest during flights. Additionally, the ppod offers potential economic benefits for airlines by improving traveler productivity upon arrival, thus creating a revenue opportunity.

- 4. The Problem Jet Lag or Travel Fatigue
- 5. Jet Lag or Travel Fatigue What is it? • Body clock or circadian rhythm is “off” • Caused by crossing multiple time zones over a short period of time • Effect often increased when traveling east versus west • Awake when you should be sleeping • Tired and sluggish when you should be awake
- 6. Jet Lag or Travel Fatigue Solution The pPod (as in people) pPod (People Pod) • Individual passenger bubble fitted to the airline seat • Passenger controls: • Temperature • Humidity (scented or unscented) • Noise quality/canceling • Lighting
- 7. Jet Lag or Travel Fatigue Solution pPod Features pPod (People Pod) • Improves passengers ability to rest or sleep by: • Pressurizing the bubble at 6,000 feet to increase oxygen absorbtion by 8%, which means: • Less fatigue • Fewer headaches • Minimized swelling
- 8. Jet Lag or Travel Fatigue Solution pPod Features pPod (People Pod) • Bubble lighting • Adjustable LED lighting to help travelers adjust their internal clock • Six level to simulate a full day • Sleep lighting allows for deep, restful sleep and the lighting would allow for setting a timer for each period to wake you slowly and naturally as though the sun were rising Sleep
- 9. Jet Lag or Travel Fatigue Solution pPod Features pPod (People Pod) • Noise reduction/canceling allows undisturbed rest or sleep periods • Decide on music, nature sounds, or no sound • Communication display allows easy viewing by flight attendants for: • “Do Not Disturb” • “Wake for Meals” • “Notify when…” • Individual thermostat to allow for personal preference
- 10. Jet Lag or Travel Fatigue Solution pPod Features pPod (People Pod) • Multiple, strategically placed shock absorbers to provide smooth “cradle” affect in flight eliminating turbulence impact while resting
- 11. Jet Lag or Travel Fatigue Solution Economic Benefit of pPod pPod (People Pod) • Airline equips only a limited number of “pods” per long haul flight • Revenue generating opportunity for airline • Frequent long-haul traveler is more productive day one at destination which equates to financial opportunity for businesses What would you pay to experience the features of a pPod?
