Your Flight

We analysed more than 4,000 data points along your route from George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, Houston to Ontario International Airport, Ontario.

Your Journey Beta

17 minutes into the flight: Expect more intense turbulence. Keep your seatbelt fastened.
1 hour 40 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 across the Sonoran Desert – conditions there can sometimes cause light turbulence.

Buckle Up

We're expecting some turbulence during this flight. Please keep your seatbelt fastened. Remember: turbulence is uncomfortable but aircraft handle it safely. Pilots often adjust altitude or route to find smoother air.

Takeoff

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

Winds Aloft

Standard wind conditions expected at cruising altitude.

Landing

Landing should feel smooth 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.
