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

Some light chop near the coast — seatbelt sign came on for maybe 20 minutes but nothing to worry about. Typical for this route in September.
Regular traveler · September
Kids barely noticed the turbulence — just some mild bumps crossing northern Europe. Seatbelt sign was on and off a couple times. Nothing dramatic.
