Thanksgiving Weekend Travel - Minimal Turbulence

During the busiest travel weekend of the year, it looks like travelers will only be subject to minimal turbulence. Most flights are currently reporting only light, and a few reporting moderate. Looking forward, Turbulence Forecast expects most flights will only hit light, and a small percentage of flights will hit moderate for this travel weekend. Not a bad forecast for this time of year. Delays also appear to be minimal, but may increase for the weekend. Be sure to check with your airlines website for the latest travel information.

Patrick Smith cuts through the rhetoric and gives you a behind the scenes look of the truth.

One thing you can do with your iPhone is visit Turbulence Forecast while waiting at the gate. The site has been fully tested and works well. When the captain doesn’t tell you how the flight will be, you’ll still know.
