Turbulence

Advice

I just wanted to share something that I found quite interesting in hopes it might change people’s mindset when it comes to turbulence! I was recently flying to Glasgow from London Gatwick with my boyfriend who is now based there as a pilot for easyJet. To me, the flight felt quite turbulent, the wings were swaying, my drink was moving.. I was freaking out 😂I look over to my boyfriend and say “god this is a bit turbulent isn’t it, are we going to be okay” and he looked at me and went “we don’t even class this as turbulence, this is just normal air”. He was so nonchalant about it and I just couldn’t believe it😂I just wanted to share this as I know turbulence is scary to a lot of peiple (including me) but it made me think differently when I realised what I had considered turbulence for as long as I can remember, it’s actually just completely normal and not considered turbulence 😭
