Business traveler · November

A few bumpy patches mid-flight, lasted maybe half an hour total. Drink service was paused briefly. Not unusual for this time of year.

Frequent flyer · May

There was some noticeable movement crossing the Zagros that made me grip the armrest. My seatmate (clearly a regular) didn't even look up from their book. Perspective.
