AI-Powered Flight Briefing
📊 11,500 data points analyzed HIGH Confidence
Your Journey Beta

6 hours 40 minutes and 6 hours 45 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 over the Great Dividing Range, across the Australian Outback, and crossing the Indian Ocean – 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 a bit bumpy initially, with calm conditions around the airport.

Winds Aloft

Winds at cruising altitude are about 33 knots. These winds may delay arrival by a few minutes.

Landing

Landing should feel smooth with possible light bumps 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.

☀️ Morning Flight

Morning flights typically experience smoother conditions as the atmosphere is more stable and thermal turbulence hasn't yet developed.

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.

Data Sources & Our Approach
ZeroTurb's Custom Algorithm: We've developed a proprietary ZeroTurb Index (ZTI) algorithm that combines three meteorological indices weighted by their predictive accuracy. This gives you transparent, passenger-focused turbulence probability instead of vague categories.
