Some light chop over the Alps — seatbelt sign came on for maybe 20 minutes but nothing to worry about. Typical for this route in November.

There was some noticeable movement over the channel that made me grip the armrest. My seatmate (clearly a regular) didn't even look up from their book. Perspective.

Flew London–Toulouse in January, had some light turbulence in the middle portion of the flight. Brief and nothing concerning. This route is usually fine.
