🌤️ Afternoon Flight

Afternoon flights may encounter more turbulence due to thermal activity as the sun heats the ground, creating rising air currents.

Wide-Body Aircraft (Large)

Large, twin-aisle aircraft like this generally provide the smoothest ride through turbulence due to their size, weight, and advanced stabilization systems.
