A few bumpy patches over the plains, lasted maybe half an hour total. Drink service was paused briefly. Not unusual for this time of year.

Frequent flyer · April

There was some noticeable movement over the Midwest that made me grip the armrest. My seatmate (clearly a regular) didn't even look up from their book. Perspective.

First-time flyer · October

Flew Abuja–Casablanca in January, had some light turbulence in the middle portion of the flight. Brief and nothing concerning. This route is usually fine.
