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 · March
Did Oaxaca to Hermosillo last November and it was genuinely one of the smoothest long-haul flights I've had. Barely any movement the whole way.
Frequent flyer · November
Totally smooth January flight. The seatbelt sign came on once briefly over the mountains but nothing actually happened. Great trip.
