22,500 data points analyzed · HIGH confidence
Your Flight

We analysed more than 22,500 data points along your route from Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Manila (Pasay) to Los Angeles International Airport, Los Angeles.

Your Journey Beta

2 hours 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 crossing the North Pacific Ocean and over the Sierra Nevada – these areas can sometimes cause light turbulence.

Smooth Flight
