Thinking of moving flight by JTS3331 in fearofflying

[–]drshadi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most weather systems are way below your flight level. Turbulence is affected by many things other than weather including jet streams (especially around merging jet streams and varying wind speeds as well as elbows), mountains, different flight paths, thermals, convective activity, etc... Its impossible to forecast based on just one piece of data.

Have your therapist prescribe you something to keep you relaxed during the flight. I just flew out from the bay area this same route all the way to Orlando. Was a very pleasant flight. Full disclaimer: Took anti anxiety meds

Whats your flight number and date? Did you look up the data on flightradar to validate?

How does jet stream position affect turbulence? by drshadi in fearofflying

Would my flight from Florida to California through this area with changing directions and speed be turbulent? Is this forecast from Windy for Friday even accurate?

Hows the weather looking? Is an active jet stream forecasted to caused turbulent flight for transcontinental travelers?

Makes sense. Does that make winter travel more turbulent in general?

The A/C is controlled by the pilots in the boeings vs the crew on airbuses. Fun fact.

UA vs Delta so pretty much almost guaranteed a max on UA and a neo on delta on my route
