The RAE does not recognize the word "deslacio."

Answer 2

It seems from my research that "jet lag" is the word used in both languages. I also found "la fatiga del vuelo" and "estar desfasado".

I did not see "deslacio" anywhere. Who knows.

Answer 3

I would say jet lag is the same in both languages. I did not find desclasio anywhere.

Answer 4

Sufro de jet lag.. sufro lag.

Google mysteriously suggested I should take a morning after pill when I put in ' deslacio'. Ok? There is a Mile High Club, I believe. Best take the pill, just in case.

Answer 5

Thanks to everyone for your answers. I asked my teacher again. Here is his reply: desface horario is a term also used for jet lag but deslacio (from the verb desenlazar/unraveling) is also used. both have not been passed the Spanish Language Academy scrutiny/approval.

Good information, thank you. - annierats, May 14, 2016

Answer 6

There isn´t a exact translation of jetlag in spanish. People who travel frecuently use the word Jetlag, even in spanish.

And the word, "deslacio", doesn´t exist. - EleRo, May 15, 2016

Answer 7

Maybe your teacher said "despacio" meaning "slow" or "slowly." I know I'm slowed down when I have jet lag.
