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.
Among all the hype that is Apple and iPhone, a rather amusing commercial indicates that a pilot with an iPhone knows more than the dispatchers for the airlines, simply by looking at the radar. See below:
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.
To celebrate the opening of our Travel Forum, Turbulence Forecast will be giving away a free Turbulence Forecast T-Shirt to the member who posts the best travel report.
A Travel Report should give some insight into why you went where you did, where you stayed, what you did, and share interesting photos of your trip. Had a great meal at a restaurant in Chicago? Had a good time in Ireland? Bummed around Florida for a few days? We want to hear how it went.
