Passenger Reports
Did Madrid to Singapore 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
Fly this route pretty regularly for work. Most of the time it's smooth — August was completely fine, not a bump worth mentioning.
Business traveler · August
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.
