I'm heading for Europe next week, this is the first leg with a 2 day stop-over. I'll post the others a day or two before the flights. I hope you're around to take a look for me. Thanks!

Hi. MDW-BDL doesn't look too bad. Not a perfect flight, but I think it'll be pretty good, most likely just some light, though BDL landing might have some bumps do to higher winds. I always go the extra mile for Platinum members

Thanks for the report, accurate but perhaps the turbs were slightly underestimated based on what was really up there. There weren't any smooth periods, just continuous light chop out of MDW (seat belt sign on all the way) until we were 20 minutes out of Hartford, then the roller coaster ride began as we started to descend. A couple of huge drops and plenty of side to side action. He did a nice job on the landing though, right on target despite all the wind.
At least the flight was 30 minutes shorter than normal, but definitely not a great day up there, surprising because it was clear and sunny all the way.
My son is a frequent flier into Hartford and he says they often have bumpy landings into there. Could that be because it's in a valley>?

That's just a windy area, the valley probably doesn't help.
