Passenger Reports

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

Kids barely noticed the turbulence — just some mild bumps crossing the dateline. Seatbelt sign was on and off a couple times. Nothing dramatic.

Flew Seattle–Singapore in January, had some light turbulence in the middle portion of the flight. Brief and nothing concerning. This route is usually fine.
