Passenger Reports

The over the channel section was legitimately rough. I was holding on to the armrests. Lasted maybe 40 minutes. One of the flight attendants had to sit down. Not a fun 2h 55m flight but we landed fine.

Solo traveler · April

Moderate turbulence on descent — the kind where you're glad you kept your seatbelt on. Lasted about 30-40 minutes, then smoothed out. I've had worse on transatlantic routes.

Frequent flyer · September

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