Some good advice already.
My mother swears by No-Jet-Lag. Flying NZ to Europe (via Dubai), she said it was just magic, compared to a previous trip.
You can get some from:

Hopefully you are flying round via the east not USA this is easier. Try to get some sleep on the plane. Stay awake if you arrive in daylight then sleep that night as long as you can. It will be worth it as it is the most beautiful country and friendly people. I've been twice even though I am scared of flying and hate it! When you come home you are more likely to suffer from jetlag so just give in and sleep! For some reason it hits you more on the return journey. Enjoy yourself I bet you'll want to go back again.

Yes, removing a nostril piercing for sports events would be a bad idea--reinserting the jewelry would be painful and could irritate the piercing and eventually lead to infection. Nostrils are one of the piercings that take the longest to heal. Nostril piercings should be left in for at the very least eight weeks and might take up to a year to completely heal. Also never use alcohol or peroxide on nostrils! They will inflame the mucous membranes. The best thing is to clean with a simple, natural soap and water. However, a simple solution for your problem is just to wear a small band-aid over the jewelry during your events. This protects your piercing as well as hiding the piercing from spectators. And, it hurts a bit! Every one is different, but always, the quicker, the better!

Came back 2 weeks ago, travelled from and to the UK. Was fine going there and back. just slept as much as poss on the plane. Didn't take anything, and don't waste money on any alternative
therapies-they are just placebos! When I got there I just knew I didn't want to waste any time so just got on with it. If you are determined to stay awake you will UP to a point . I arrived 9am NZ time and was OK until 6pm the that day when I nearly fell asleep in my meal. the next day I was ok. Don't dread it, just accept you will need sleep for the first day and try and get into the normal rhythm of the country you're in. I went to bed 6pm and was fine the next day. Accept you may waste the first day,better to do that than fight it for the next few days
Have a great time. It is a lovely beautiful country. I'm soooo jealous, I want to go back NOW

As soon as you get on the plane, set your watch to whatever the local time is in NZ and whenever its day-time with them, try and stay awake, and whenever its night-time with them, have a kip. This way your getting your body used to the time zone before you get there- I did this when heading to Oz and felt grand.
Once you arrive, same thing again, if you get there during the day, try and force yourself to stay up till a reasonable time at night and dont oversleep the next day - you'll be as right as rain by your 3rd day and you wont even feel like your on the other side of the world!

Unfortunately, whatever you try and do, you are going to be hit with jet lag. It'll take up to about 3, maybe 4, days to recover. The best advice I can give is sleep on the early part of the flight and stay awake on the second half of the flight. When you land, stay awake during daylight and sleep as it gets dark.

when i flew i harrdly got any sleep on the plane, after a quick shower i headed into the town centre where i had a few drinks, by the time i got back to the hostel it was about 8pm and i slept all the way through until 9am!! So beer is the answer to getting rid of jet lag

While travelling, drink lots of water and avoid alcohol and coffee.
Once you arrive, try and get into the new time zone straight away. This means that you should resist the urge to go straight to bed if you arrive in the middle of the day.
This has always worked for me - I've never had more than one night of disrupted sleep after long-haul flights.

keep well hydrated..supposedy it isnt the time zones that mess you around.Its the dehydration.
I read somthing where even if you flew for 12 hours in the 1 country your would still experince jet lag.
and the tried and tested ..sleep.Have a look around and see if there are 2 empty seats next to each other you can move to to stretch out.Most airlines are pretty lenient on this.

drink lots of water. try and sleep on the plane/s. If you arrive before it is time to go tobed then do your best to stay up until you would be normally going to bed and get up at a fairly reasonable hour next day. It is the best way of adjusting to the new time zone and recovering quickly from the jetlag.Have a good time.
