Was nervous about this flight but honestly didn't need to be. Smooth the whole way, the 14h 05m went by fast.
First-time passenger · April
Totally smooth October flight. The seatbelt sign came on once briefly over the plains but nothing actually happened. Great trip.
Leisure traveler · October
Did Brussels to Jakarta last January and it was genuinely one of the smoothest long-haul flights I've had. Barely any movement the whole way.
