Your flight, stretch by stretch
Some bumps expected. 4 bumpier stretches, about 159 min in total.
  • 0:00-1:20 · Takeoff · light bumps (~80 min) Light movement. Drinks may ripple.
  • 1:20-1:50 · moderate bumps (~30 min) Noticeable bumps. The seatbelt sign is likely on.
  • 1:50-2:19 · stronger bumps (~29 min) Stronger bumps possible. Keep your seatbelt fastened.
  • 2:19-2:39 · Landing · moderate bumps (~20 min) Noticeable bumps. The seatbelt sign is likely on.
