# Spanish by Choice/SpanishPod newbie lesson A0076

Jet-Lag

### Introduction

The most important thing about jet-lag: there is good jet-lag (when the local time is behind your time because you were flying westwards) and bad jet-lag (when the local time is ahead of your time because you were flying eastwards). Similarly, our keyword has multiple meanings: cambio de horario – change of schedule/change of time zone/jet-lag.
