2,500 data points analyzed · HIGH confidence
Your Flight

We analysed more than 2,500 data points along your route from San Francisco International Airport, San Francisco to Yampa Valley Airport, Hayden.

Your Journey Beta

Some bumpy patches are scattered throughout the flight. Keep your seatbelt fastened when seated.

Your route takes you over the Sierra Nevada and over the Rocky Mountains – these areas can sometimes cause light 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.

Winds Aloft

Winds at cruising altitude are about 62 knots. These winds are favorable and may get you there a few minutes early.

Landing

Landing should feel a bit bumpy on descent 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.
