Jet lag before a consult — how many days early do people arrive?

Coming from Brisbane so the time difference is small for me, but my sister is flying in from London to come with me and she's worried she'll be a zombie for the consult and the first day after. We're trying to work out whether to land the day before or give it two or three days.

For anyone coming from the UK or US: did you plan a buffer just to be a functioning human before the important appointments? And is it worth having consults before surgery day rather than same-day?

    London to Seoul is rough eastbound. I'd give your sister at least two nights before anything where she needs to listen properly and ask questions. First night you sleep badly, second night is usually better. Also take notes in the consult, jet-lagged brains don't remember numbers.
