Passenger Reports

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

Leisure traveler · March

This was genuinely difficult for me. Real bumps for a long stretch over Turkey, seatbelt sign on for what felt like forever. The flight attendants were calm which helped. Got through it.

Nervous flyer · January

Flew this in January 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.
