Fly this route pretty regularly for work. Most of the time it's smooth — April was completely fine, not a bump worth mentioning.

Business traveler · April

Was nervous about this flight but honestly didn't need to be. Smooth the whole way, the 1h 15m went by fast.

First-time passenger · December

Did Jaipur to Chandigarh last January and it was genuinely one of the smoothest long-haul flights I've had. Barely any movement the whole way.
