Does Jet Lag occur when you fly west to east, or east to west?

West to east, but it kinda depends how far you fly. If you go far enough east to west, it can get to you the next day, but usually not as badly.
 
i was always under the assumption that no matter which direction you fly, if the time difference is big enough between where you were, and where you are going to, then you will experience jet lag.

I flew to India (West to East) and I had jet lag when I got there.
I flew back from India to the US (East to West) and I had jet lag when I got home.

It was worse for me coming back, because 26 hours had passed in realtime yet only 15 hours had passed in clock time.

 
Doesn't matter if you're flying long enough it happens both ways. I can't imagine being on the 18 hour non-stop from Singapore to NYC. That sounds terrible!
 
either way,
I've had jet lag going 7 hours either way. For me its more of a sleep cycle problem (ie staying up till 6-8am when going from europe to US and or getting up at 3-4 when i got to europe)
