The 6h 30m flight had some light shaking around the halfway point. Nothing spilled, nobody panicked. Just normal flying.
Leisure traveler · July
Some light chop crossing the dateline — seatbelt sign came on for maybe 20 minutes but nothing to worry about. Typical for this route in February.
Regular traveler · February
There was some noticeable movement mid-Pacific that made me grip the armrest. My seatmate (clearly a regular) didn't even look up from their book. Perspective.
