We know turbulence can feel scary - especially on long flights. This report is built for you: what bumps feel like, when they happen, and why they don't put the aircraft in danger. Many passengers feel exactly the same way.

AI-powered flight briefing
13,000 data points analyzed · HIGH confidence
Your Flight

We analysed more than 13,000 data points along your route from Charles De Gaulle, Paris (Roissy-en-France, Val-d'Oise) to Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport / Wold–Chamberlain Field, Minneapolis.

Your Journey Beta

24 minutes, 45 minutes, and 1 hour 30 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 crossing the North Atlantic Ocean – conditions there can sometimes cause light turbulence.

Mostly Smooth

Overall conditions look mostly smooth with occasional light bumps. Nothing to worry about.

Takeoff

Takeoff should feel a bit bumpy initially, with calm conditions around the airport.

Winds Aloft

Winds at cruising altitude are about 58 knots. These winds may delay arrival by up to 41 minutes.

Landing

Landing should feel a bit bumpy on descent with typical approach conditions.

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.
