Passenger Reports

Totally smooth April flight. The seatbelt sign came on once briefly on descent but nothing actually happened. Great trip.
Leisure traveler · April
Did GYN to SDU last February and it was genuinely one of the smoothest long-haul flights I've had. Barely any movement the whole way.
Frequent flyer · February
Was nervous about this flight but honestly didn't need to be. Smooth the whole way, the 1h 25m went by fast.
