Totally smooth January flight. The seatbelt sign came on once briefly over the channel but nothing actually happened. Great trip.

Was nervous about this flight but honestly didn't need to be. Smooth the whole way, the 2h 00m went by fast.

I always expect the worst on longer flights but this one surprised me. Very little turbulence, only a few small bumps on descent. Manageable even for me.
