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

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