Your Journey Beta
Some bumpy patches are scattered throughout the flight. Keep your seatbelt fastened when seated.
Your route takes you crossing the Aegean Sea and crossing the Mediterranean Sea – these areas can sometimes cause light turbulence.
Mostly Smooth
Overall conditions look mostly smooth with some light bumps expected. Pilots often adjust altitude or route to find smoother air.
Takeoff
Takeoff should feel smooth, 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.

Data sources & our approach
ZeroTurb's Custom Algorithm: Our proprietary
ZeroTurb Index (ZTI) combines three meteorological indices weighted by their
predictive accuracy — giving you transparent, passenger-focused turbulence probability instead
of vague categories.
This forecast integrates data from:
- ECMWF Open Data — Global atmospheric model (wind/temperature at 13 flight levels)
- NOAA Aviation Weather Center — Pilot Reports (PIREPs), SIGMETs/AIRMETs, TAFs
- NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center — Aurora forecasts for polar routes
- AviationStack API — Flight schedules and airline operational data
