Passenger Reports

Rough patch crossing northern Europe in January — drinks went everywhere on the row behind me. Probably 45 minutes of actual turbulence. Nothing dangerous but definitely uncomfortable.

Business traveler · January

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

Leisure traveler · December

Flew this in February 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.
