Passenger Reports

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

First-time flyer · January

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

Frequent flyer · August

Some light chop crossing northern Europe — seatbelt sign came on for maybe 20 minutes but nothing to worry about. Typical for this route in May.
