What kind of food do they serve on continental airlines?
Ursus is right about the meals. They will be “American food” on Continental airlines. More than about 6 hours in an airplane is really tough, especially if you are in economy class. The result is usually called “jet lag”. The time change is part of “jet lag”, but only part. For example, people experience jet lag when traveling from North America to South America even when they don’t change time zones. Dehydration caused by dry air in the cabin is as important as the time change, and dehydration can be cumulative + aggravated by your environment/activities before the flight. Jet lag can be much worse on the return leg of a relatively short trip because you never really recovered from the lag incurred on the first leg. It can also be aggravated by what you do between trips. I have not found anything that eliminates jet lag, but staying hydrated helps reduce it. Water and non-carbonated liquids are best. Avoid drinking a lot of anything with caffeine, including colas. Lots of alcohol also
