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.

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

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