17,500 data points analyzed · HIGH confidence
Your Flight

We analysed more than 17,500 data points along your route from Los Angeles International Airport, Los Angeles to Schiphol, Amsterdam.

Your Journey Beta

8 hours 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 over the Sierra Nevada, over the Rocky Mountains, crossing the North Atlantic Ocean, and over the Scottish Highlands – 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.

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.
