Passenger Reports

More turbulent than I expected. The over the channel section was pretty rough — overhead bins rattling, some gasps from other passengers. Died down before landing.

Leisure traveler · January

Flew this in May expecting smooth skies based on past experience, but it was noticeably bumpier than usual. About an hour of moderate chop. Seatbelt sign basically stayed on.

Regular traveler · May

The crossing northern Europe section was legitimately rough. I was holding on to the armrests. Lasted maybe 40 minutes. One of the flight attendants had to sit down. Not a fun 3h 55m flight but we landed fine.
