Passenger Reports
Totally smooth April flight. The seatbelt sign came on once briefly on descent but nothing actually happened. Great trip.
Leisure traveler · April
Did Paris to Jakarta last April and it was genuinely one of the smoothest long-haul flights I've had. Barely any movement the whole way.
Frequent flyer · April
I always expect the worst on longer flights but this one surprised me. Very little turbulence, only a few small bumps on descent. Manageable even for me.
