18,000 data points analyzed · HIGH confidence
Your Flight

We analysed more than 18,000 data points along your route from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, Atlanta to İstanbul Airport, Arnavutköy, Istanbul.

Your Journey Beta

1 hour 20 minutes and 8 hours 25 minutes into the flight: Some moderate bumps expected.
The crew may adjust altitude or ask you to stay seated during these sections.
The rest of the flight should be smooth.

Your route takes you over the Appalachian Mountains, crossing the North Atlantic Ocean, over the Alps, and over the Carpathian Mountains – these areas can sometimes cause turbulence.

You're in Safe Hands

If you feel nervous at any point, remember that turbulence is expected, safe, and part of normal flying. The crew is monitoring everything, and the aircraft is built to handle far more than anything you will feel. Have a safe and calm flight.
