Passenger Reports

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.
Nervous flyer · April
Did Kochi to Chandigarh 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
Was nervous about this flight but honestly didn't need to be. Smooth the whole way, the 3h 35m went by fast.
