Passenger Reports

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

Business traveler · November

A few bumpy patches over the Alps, lasted maybe half an hour total. Drink service was paused briefly. Not unusual for this time of year.

Frequent flyer · October

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