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.

Your Journey Beta

7 hours 50 minutes, 8 hours 30 minutes, and 9 hours 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, over the Rocky Mountains, and across the Sonoran Desert – these areas can sometimes cause turbulence.

Smooth Flight

We're expecting smooth conditions throughout your flight. You can sit back and relax.

Takeoff

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

Winds Aloft

Winds at cruising altitude are about 44 knots. These winds may delay arrival by up to 32 minutes.

Landing

Landing should feel smooth with possible light bumps 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.
