Ordered the combo before a work trip to Shanghai and it arrived in two days with free shipping. Calm on the long leg, Awake for the first three mornings. I was doing site visits on day two without dragging.
Lerato K., BloemfonteinComplete Combo Flew to Toronto to see my daughter graduate and took Awake each morning before breakfast. Skipped my usual second coffee and still had energy for the whole ceremony and the dinner after.
Johan B., GeorgeJet Lag Awake Took one before an overnight flight to Frankfurt. I usually spend the whole night restless and watching movies, this time I dozed off after the meal service. Packing it again for the return leg.
Thandi M., JohannesburgJet Lag Calm We shared the combo on our honeymoon to the Maldives, Calm for the flights and Awake for the first mornings there. The outer box arrived a bit squashed from the courier bag, but the capsules inside were fine.
Ayesha P., PietermaritzburgComplete Combo I work long shifts and never sleep on planes. Took one capsule about fifteen minutes before boarding for Dubai and actually rested most of the way. Happy that it is melatonin free.
Nomvula Z., Richards BayJet Lag Calm Used Awake on my first two mornings in New York and felt more switched on in meetings than I normally do on day one. Wish the box had a few more capsules for longer trips.
Ruan V., StellenboschJet Lag Awake Used it on a wine trade trip to Paris. The first morning after landing I felt clear headed by the time the tastings started. Delivery took a day longer than promised, otherwise no complaints.
Pieter J., PaarlJet Lag Awake As team manager on a school rugby tour to Wales I bought the combo for myself. Settled on the overnight flight with Calm and was up for early training with Awake. Two of the coaches have asked where I got it.
Kagiso M., RustenburgComplete Combo Bought the combo for a family trip to Perth. The routine is easy to follow: Calm for the flight, Awake for the mornings after. My parents now want their own boxes.
Priya N., DurbanComplete Combo Did Umrah with my mother and the combo made the long trip via Doha much easier. Calm helped us both rest on the flights, and Awake got me going in the mornings. R398 well spent.
Fatima A., WorcesterComplete Combo Cabin crew on long haul rotations here. I take one Awake in the morning after landing, before breakfast, and leave out my extra coffee. Never more than five days in a row, and it fits my roster well.
Bongani N., NewcastleJet Lag Awake Took Calm before a red eye to Mauritius with two toddlers. I did not sleep the whole way, kids being kids, but I felt settled instead of frazzled. Would like a smaller travel pouch for the handbag.
Chantelle D., GqeberhaJet Lag Calm It contains caffeine, so I treat it like my morning coffee and skip the second cup. Two mornings in London and I was sharp for both of them. Good value for what it does.
Sipho D., PretoriaJet Lag Awake Business trip to Seattle with three connections. The combo kept it simple, Calm before the long legs and Awake for the first mornings in the hotel. My presentation on day two went smoothly.
Tshepo L., PolokwaneComplete Combo Student flying back from an exchange semester in Amsterdam. Took Awake the morning after landing and for the next few days, and made it to lectures without nodding off. Will buy again for the December trip.
Anika S., PotchefstroomJet Lag Awake Nice that it ships free and you get both boxes in one order. Worked well on my trip to Atlanta. I would add a second Calm box for trips with lots of flights, but the routine itself made a real difference.
Vusi K., MbombelaComplete Combo Nervous flyer here. It took the edge off the waiting around at the airport. Not a miracle, but together with the tips in the Jet Lag 101 guides it made the trip easier.
Megan L., Cape TownJet Lag Calm Retired and finally visiting my sister in Sydney. The combo was easy to follow even for me, one Calm capsule before the flight and one Awake in the morning before breakfast. I enjoyed the first week instead of sleeping through it.
Zanele N., UmhlangaComplete Combo Flew to Washington for a conference and took Awake on the first three mornings before breakfast. Swapped it for my coffee and felt properly awake for the sessions. Easy to swallow, no funny taste.
Dineo M., MahikengJet Lag Awake My wife bought Calm for our trip to visit the grandchildren in Auckland. I am normally the grumpy one on long flights, but I rested well and arrived in a much better mood. The family noticed.
Hennie V., OudtshoornJet Lag Calm I travel a lot for mining contracts in Chile. Since using the combo I land, take Awake the next morning and get on with work. Calm on the flight helps me switch off on the long overnight legs.
Sanele B., East LondonComplete Combo Used Awake after a holiday in Lisbon. It helped on the first two mornings back home and I did not need my usual extra coffee. Packaging could be a bit sturdier, but it does what it says.
Carmen F., KnysnaJet Lag Awake Went to a family wedding in Mumbai with three days of functions straight after landing. Calm on the flight and Awake each morning kept me going through all of it. Ordering again for next year.
Kavitha R., ChatsworthComplete Combo First time travelling overseas, to London for work training. I followed the day and night routine exactly and felt fine on my first day in the office. Free shipping was a nice bonus.
Mpho T., WelkomComplete Combo Flew to Boston for a medical conference. Took one Awake each morning before breakfast for four days and kept up with the early sessions. Much easier than drinking coffee all day.

Ntombi S., MthathaJet Lag Calm Got the combo for a farming expo in Iowa. Calm worked well on the flight and Awake helped me through the first few days. Took one extra day to arrive in the Free State, but customer service kept me updated.
Gerrit P., BethlehemComplete Combo As a lecturer flying to a symposium in Berlin I needed to be sharp on day one. Awake before breakfast did the trick and I skipped the extra espresso. Already have a box in my travel bag for the next one.
Themba X., MakhandaJet Lag Awake Took my teenagers to Orlando and bought the combo for myself. Calm got me through the long leg via Atlanta and Awake had me ready for theme park mornings. Worth the R398.
Reshma G., TongaatComplete Combo Helped me rest on the flight to Frankfurt for a work course. It is not a sleeping pill, more of a calm, settled feeling, which suited me. I would like a box with more capsules for frequent travel.
Elmarie K., UpingtonJet Lag Calm Played in a club hockey tournament in the Netherlands. Awake each morning after we landed meant I was not flat at warm ups. A few teammates have now ordered their own boxes.
Lwazi C., PinetownJet Lag Awake Our anniversary trip to Japan was the longest flight we have done. The combo covered both sides of the routine and we were out exploring Kyoto on the first full day instead of napping in the hotel.
Natasha W., Somerset WestComplete Combo Took Awake after a long trip to Beijing. It definitely helped the first mornings, though I still felt tired by evening, which is fair after such a long flight. Will use it again.

Andile H., BallitoComplete Combo Flying alone to visit friends in Amsterdam made me tense. Took one capsule fifteen minutes before boarding and felt calm and settled through the night. Very glad it is melatonin free.

Yusuf I., LenasiaJet Lag Awake Nurse travelling to London for a placement interview. The combo made the whole trip calmer. I rested on the overnight flight and was clear headed for the interview the next morning. Got the job too.
Busisiwe D., EstcourtComplete Combo I have never been able to sleep in economy. Took Calm before a flight to Munich and managed proper rest for a few hours. That alone made the arrival day much easier.

Palesa K., SasolburgComplete Combo Took Awake after a long flight back from Los Angeles and was at my desk the next morning feeling human. It contains caffeine, so I skipped my extra coffee and it was plenty.
