Overview
Toronto Pearson to London Heathrow — the busiest Canada-UK link. Short overnight transatlantic; sleep on the plane is the single highest-leverage thing you can do.
Jet lag
5-hour eastward shift on a short overnight. Sleep as much as possible aligned to London night; arrival-day morning light is the lever; functional same day.
Build a YYZ→LHR adaptation scheduleBest window side
Eastbound overnight — the right side faces north and catches sunrise approaching Europe. For sleep, the window matters more than the side.
Cabin humidity
Air Canada's 787-9 is the comfort pick. 777-300ER and A330-300 are drier but workable on a 7-hour overnight.
