Your Flight

We analysed more than 700 data points along your route from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, Atlanta to Nashville International, Nashville.

Your Journey Beta

Some bumpy patches are scattered throughout the flight. Keep your seatbelt fastened when seated.

Your route takes you over the Appalachian Mountains – conditions there can sometimes cause light turbulence.

Mostly Smooth

Overall conditions look mostly smooth with some light bumps expected. Pilots often adjust altitude or route to find smoother air.

Takeoff

Takeoff should feel smooth with possible light bumps, with calm conditions around the airport.

Winds Aloft
