- What is turbulence? An airline pilot defines what turbulence is to help you not be scared in the airplane. He tells a pilot's goal when the airplane flies in turbulence. I share some tips for when you are in the airplane during turbulence that have helped me.

Hello Laurie! 😍 The way your pilot husband explained everything and anything about turbulence gave me some peace of mind for when I'm flying out next time! 👍💪 What airline does he work for? I'll gladly and courageously ride on a plane he's piloting! He seems competent, optimistic yet cautious, and a likeable bloke! 😊 Cheers from Down Under 🇦🇺
Hi I am so glad his answers helped! Have a great flight. We do not say who he works for because of safety and transparency.@@user-mj9ck9bb5p
@TravelTipsbyLaurie I completely understand, Laurie! Happy New Year to you, the hubby, and the kids! 🎄🎅🥂 Need to subscribe to your channel ASAP!!! 👍💪😊
A pilot once sat next to me and said “remember, I want this plane to land safely just as much as you do”.
Yes!!!
Yes but also there's people like the one from German Wings flight
Yess! My friend is a pilot and he told me the same thing. Still I get anxious when flying 😂😢😂
I have a cousin who has been a flight attendant for nearly 35 years and when asked to talk about the scariest moment in her flying experience, she cannot think of any worth mentioning. Makes me feel at ease every time I fly.
Thanks for sharing ❤
My gfs aunt is a flight attendant for 35 years for southwest and said literally one time they had depressurization and had to quickly descend to 10k feet. Nothing else happened tho
she has a heart and nerves of steel lol....if its a lil bumpy, my heart is racing lol
As a former air marshal I have been on some extremely turbulent rides that freaked me out. Watching my navy pilot partner drinking coffee and reading a book as we dropped out of the sky always helped me lol
Goes to say she always adopted best practices and never flouted the rules. Great to hear that 👍
A little turbulence that was scary to him means we were screaming our guts out back there 😂
For real!!
Yes!!!😂
Indeed lol
Exactly. Actually, it’s my fellow passengers reaction to turbulence that is more un nerving than the turbulence itself
Ohhh yes 😁😁😁
I faced a worst turbulence, got really frightened and mentioned this to a flight attendant. She gave a valuable advise which calmed me down throughout during that flight and all the flights afterwards . She said " just look to flight attendants face, body language during turbulence and if you see them calm, doing their routine job then there is nothing to worry about" she was so right and made flying easy since then. Thanks for that lovely flight attendant.
I was on a flight years ago, the turbulence was getting pretty bad, I looked at my flight attendant who was giving another passenger water, suddenly the flight attendant was on the floor the cup was in the passengers face the water was floating in the air🤣
I’ve heard this advice as well. Just watch the Flight Attendants. If they are passing out drinks and still smiling we are good 😊
💔💯❤️🌹💐
I am very scared of turbulence. I always pray it may not be a bumpy ride. When turbulence happens I hold on tight to armrest and pray it may be over soon.
Same here. I pray and keep my eyes closed. I have been known to cry, not out loud, but tears of fear rolling down my cheeks.
Same here
I was on a bumpy plane few months ago. It wasn’t fun, but at some point, the pilot talk to us saying this, there’s nothing to worry about, everything is under control so please don’t worry. At that point, I did understand that turbulence were not going to hurt the plane. Thanks to the pilot that took the time to communicate with his passengers, it was very helpful for many of us 🥵😁
The same thing happened to me today...
Pilots can't communicate enough. Whenever they say stuff like that it's very calming and reassuring. The problem is most pilots say basically nothing.
❤🎉🗣️💯
I always pray the whole flight.
I always watch the flight attendants. As long as they are calm, I’m calm.
Me too,I sometimes check the convidence of Seniour people araund me
Until the pilot tells them to sit down 😢
Lol@@pablo-ww2ey
Me too
Bulls eye...that is exactly what I do 😊
I wish your husband was my pilot on EVERY flight! Thank you!
Yes me too. Such a calming man who I would trust as my pilot. 😃👍
Me too, God reward you Capt. Safe travel always!
I was just thinking that 😂😂😂😂
I had 4 hours of continuous turbulence in a flight from India to Canada in August 2019. I was flying for the first time and was scared. I kept on praying and reading my Bible until it was calm after 4 hrs. Thanks to God!.
4 hours! That was long!
@@chervang4461Exactly , and I was travelling for the very first time. But, by Gods Grace all was ok and reached safely.
I can tell that your hubby is such a kind, capable and caring pilot. I would feel very relaxed and comfortable flying with him in charge.
Best thing your husband said here is that he increases the AC during turbulence to help prevent motion sickness. A+++
True!!
Yes! I totally agree. (I fear motion sickness more than the plane crashing.)
Whenever there’s a bothersome turbulence, I prayed the rosary. The turbulence stopped halfway during my prayers.
What a load of shit
If they announce that “we may have some turbulence”, I always pray for the air to be smooth and no problems.
Thanks to The Captain that he shares landmarks and points of interest during the flight. I truly enjoy when that’s pointed out.
I appreciate GREATLY your husband taking the time to make these videos about turbulence!!! Pilots letting us know what kind of turbulence to expect helps me prepare and I like that also. On my last flight, reading a book helped too! Again, thank you!!
More to come!
I can't read when I'm bouncing around. Even if I'm watching a movie, and we get a little bump, I think, "What was that??" That's also why I can't sleep on a plane. I feel every little bump.
@@jimroscoviusme too but I only developed these fears when I grew older, flew all my young life without a problem. Now I fly when I have to.
@@annmcdonald6180 same, just recently I developed this irrational fear of flying and the more I fly the more it grows... 😢
@@annmcdonald6180 because before when you were little you really don’t know the real meaning of death you heard it from people or seeing in the movie but you really don’t know how deep it can affect someone and his or her family but now you know that’s the difference and because as kid you r innocent you r just enjoying discovering 😂 no bill to think about no family to take care of etc
As a nervous flyer I found this incredibly helpful. The comment someone made about turbulence being like potholes was also helpful. Thanks!
Great to hear!
Thank you for a great post! Absolute worst turbulence I've experienced was back in the late 1990s when flying across the Alps and then landing in Geneva, Switzerland. IIRC, the pilot warned us that the descent was going to be rapid and steep due to the altitude difference between the top of the mountain and the airport, but this was no ordinary turbulence. It was Seriously Rough, knocked us around in our seats as we descended until moments before we landed. Once the pilot stopped the plane, all of the passengers roared in applause. The pilot thanked each and every one of us as we deplaned. If I ever go to Geneva again, I'll take the train. LOL!
Yes!!
When traveling from US to Europe there is no other choice but flying, which I absolutely despise. But once in Europe I will not set my foot in another airplane. Train travel is the way to go. Trains are comfortable, clean, fairly cheap and very fast (TGV). Besides you're not stuck in your seat. You can walk about. Best way to go.
@@pourquoipas2673I’m backpacking Europe this summer and can’t wait to try this
@@pourquoipas2673 Trains are MANY MANY times more dangerous than flying...You are confusing FEAR with actual DANGER.
I always keep my seatbelt on when flying (unless using facility) and have snacks in my backpack. I use to be a white-knuckle flier, but now I enjoy the flight. Guess getting older really took away all fear. Thank you to your husband for talking to us.
Love that!
Great video, I’m sharing this with my daughter. She has anxiety attacks when there’s any kind of turbulence. Thank your husband for sharing all this information.
So do i. I have to jiggle myself around to match the turbulence so I don't freak out😂
A very reassuring video. Thank you Laurie and Captain! I'm reminded of such a severe occurrence of turbulence flying from LA to Philly in 1996. In those days we had earphones that could plug into the seat and we could listen to the pilots. Wow, the things I heard! The tossing, turning, and lightning strikes around us was frightening. We finally landed (late at night) to an icy tarmac when the Captain (a woman by the way), gets on the PA system and in a very level-headed tone, the first words out of her mouth were, "Well, that was hairy". As it turns out we were the last plane allowed to land after very nearly being diverted to Florida.
Thanks so much Laurie and Chris. This was the conversation we needed to have. I think a lot of people suffer this fear in silence even the most avid travelers.
Thank you for this great video. Your husband explained it very clearly. And thanks for him telling us they don't fly through thunderstorms, that's reassuring too. I love that he thinks about the passengers so much that he even turns the air cooler to avoid more people getting sick with turbulence. He's a great guy, I hope he's a pilot on one of my flights some day!!!
Great video. Lots of answers to questions that have gone thru my mind over the years! Thank you both.
It is great to have you and your hubby explain ‘the what and what to do’… excellent reminders!
This was a wonderful video for me. I'm a nervous flyer, anxious on most days it just gets worse in the air. It's nice to have the knowledge to help calm that anxiety.
Been 4 yrs hadn’t been on a flight. Turbulence is scary and mayb part of the flight. Thanking you and your husband had educated me about turbulence. He had explained with real experience and concern about safety of passengers and his crew. Pls put out more relatable topic about flying, Do’s and Don’t s. Thank you both
Nervous flyer here, (person who squeezes the arm rests over any bump or noise). Thank you for this! Plus, I love it when the pilot points things out I am flying over. I am so afraid of heights, cant drive on windy switchback roads out west, till I get up there and I am always looking out of the window if it is clear enough.
Thank you so much for this!! It is super helpful to hear from both of you together on this, you are both so friendly, kind, and knowledgable! I really appreciate the info on how mountains and topography can cause turbulence, my problem is I feel like when it starts it will never end so it is super nice to know this when you can also look at the in flight map and put things together
Thank you to you and your husband for explaining in a straightforward yet reassuring way!
Omgosh this video was MADE FOR ME!!!! Thank you so much for having your hubby on, I love traveling but absolutely hate the plane journey as I get raging anxiety as soon as we hit the first bump!!😭 Your comments and questions for your hubby expressed everything that goes through my head and would have also totally asked!! 😂😂😂
Yes it drives me crazy when there is turbulence.
I've been a flight attendant for 43 years. Turbulence never really bothered me. In fact, the light bouncing is kind of soothing... until it's not. Turbulence is never felt the same way in the cockpit as it is in the cabin. In fact, the farther aft you go, the more you feel the turbulence and the worse it gets. Turbulence can be severe in that it can make you fall, turn over carts or give you a good scare. However, planes are built to withstand turbulence so the threat of structural damage to a plane is remote at best. Turbulence can occur at any time during a flight so it's always best to keep your seatbelt fastened whenever you are in your seat and always sit down when we or the pilots advise you to. Think of turbulence as just a bumpy road while riding in a car. Eventually, you'll get past those pot holes and be riding on a smooth road again!
Exactly! I just see it as being in a big bus with wings on a bumpy road...😊
So true,,,nowadays, I try to sit closer to the front even if I have to pay a bit more.
@@terrilhargrovejonesThat’s true but I don’t like when it’s going on for too long. 😅
Thanks for posting, prayers for all pilots and air professionals to have a great flight while doing thier jobs. Shoutout from Brooklyn NY
Love when you both do these! Thanks 😊
What a great video! It doesn't fix the fear experienced during turbulence, but it helps to know what's happening, how the pilots are trained to deal with it, and that they are receiving real-time updates.
What i find helpful is that turbulence is normal and is not what causes crashes. So it might feel chaotic but there is no actual danger.
Wonderfully informative video! Thank you, The Captain and Laurie. The Captain’s explanations are so clear and calm - like the weather we all hope for when we fly! I was in a clear-air turbulence incident on an overseas flight. Woooo! It felt like I’d fallen off the roof of a skyscraper. BUT I had my seatbelt on, properly fastened, and I was fine. Please fellow travelers: Just wear your seatbelt. You don’t even notice it’s there after a minute or two. Maybe you want to run the risk of getting mashed into the ceiling but: if you get hurt, then everybody else gets delayed. They might have to divert the flight to get you treated sooner. I may have to wait at our regular destination until they get you off the plane. P.S. Laurie, is it my imagination or did The Captain have this look on his face like: I keep telling them to wear their seatbelts, and some people just won’t, and then they wonder why they are head-butting the overhead bin. Thanks so much again! You and The Captain are the best.
Thank you for this video! Your husband is so knowledgeable. My fear of turbulence has gotten worse. So any additional information to help is great!!
Thank you for this video. Turbulence freaks me TF out. I'm a crier on planes and this is sooo helpful. I just came back from a light turbulent flight from London to SFO and it totally makes sense why we had some turby. Thank you, thank you!
I needed this video! I was afraid of for many years and recently started traveling again. Your videos have helped me so much and I have received compliments from TSA on how organized my family and I are. Thank you to you and your husband for all that you do! ❤
Yay!!
Laurie!!! I'm flying for the first time in September and your videos have given me so much peace and knowledge that I'm not even nervous anymore. Thank you so much for all that you do💜
How was your trip Erica?
Nothing to be scared of. It’s just bumps in the road.😊
Honestly him explaining what causes turbulence helped calmed me more than anything has in the past. Thank you for maki g this. I habe a flight in like 8 hrs and i was starting to feel the anxiety and this has reallly helped
This is one of my favorites. Very informative. Thank you.
Great video! Now understanding turbulence from a pilot’s perspective has really lessened my nervousness. Can’t wait to fly again and check out the notices from the pilot, what the stewardesses do and what level I can guess we are it. Really cool info. Thanks so much!
Thank you for an OUTSTANDING video, packed full of important information! You are both articulate and reassuring!
Thanks!!
Thank you both for this video. It is almost time for our next adventure, and I am always anxious in turbulence!
I'm loving this collaborative series!
This video is very helpful, thanks! I was once on a plane where we hit quite a lot of turbulence. We had just finished talking to one of the flight attendants who was set to retire after 35 years of working for the airline. When she plopped down in her jump seat and looked concerned, my mom and I felt a lot more concerned, ha!
Just the video I needed to hear as I prepare for vacation! I was never afraid to fly, as I grew up with a pilot great uncle and his sons who used to take us in his 4 seater plane every summer for fun, until I had one really bad experience several years ago. It was a half hour flight from Greenville to Charlotte in North Carolina and the plane felt out of control and more like the Disney ride tower of terror. Thank you for the information, turbulence really scares me now and I really appreciate it when the pilots talk to passengers. When they sound calm it really helps me.
He had some bad turbulence over NC this summer. But it smoothed out.
I had a flight like that from Las Vegas back home to California. I didn’t fly for many years after that and still today I don’t fly to Vegas. We always drive
@@Ohheyitsyou same I had a super scary flight into Vegas and it kept me from flying for a couple of years and I have ptsd from it like I can only fly now with Xanax
I love the question and answer session with your husband. He seems so kind and understanding.
Thank you for another interesting video. Wishing both of you a great weekend!
Thank you so much for sharing your professional experience. The recent advances in technology makes avoiding and mitigating turbulence much easier; so whether you're on the fight deck, or in the cabin, it's so much better than in years past.
Super thank you!!! I’m terrified of flying, but love to travel. I hate turbulence. 😭😭😭
Same here ❤ to travel
Me too but this video helps!
Absolutely love the videos with your husband! He is so informative and reassuring, and your prompts are same odd questions I would want to know. Thank you both. Y’all are so dang cute together!
Thanks for the pilot insight on turbulence! That was very helpful.
Thank you to your husband for making this video with you! I, too, HATE turbulence! Any little bump and I'm freaking out. I've gotten better over the years but I still don't like it. I wish your hubby could be my captain on every flight I take. :-)
Thank you so much for this video! I used to freak out with turbulence, and my daughter won’t even fly any more. It’s great to hear it explained. I like to think of it now as hitting bumps as you’re driving on the road.
Oh I am so sorry for her, but that fear can be paralying.
This is THE #1 concern of the passengers. Thank you to all the pilots out there that are on the watch and look for smoother air.
This was very comforting and very informative, thank you both 😊👍
Couple of years ago travelling from Doha to Dallas. Last one hour severe turbulence started along with severe thunder storm and lasted for more than 75 minutes.. I've been travelling for the past 48years and I never experienced such a scary one. Actually, I was praying for the whole saga.
Such a great video. I like when the pilot talks about what is on the left or right of the aircraft. It makes me less afraid because the airplane starts making different noises when we are going to land. Fear of flying isn't only turbulence, it is also the noise the aircraft makes, and if on a prop plane, that one of them is spinning slowly, etc. I used to have to take C-130s for military travel and that always freaked me out.
Oh I bet so-no windows! Yikes. It seems so easy for them to just update us. But many are scared to talk in public.
Thanks Laurie & Captain, I really enjoy this series of videos you’ve created for us. I have loved air travel ever since my first flight & I’ve experienced varying degrees of turbulence. The worst was not long after 9/11 when I had to fly from NYC to Portland, OR urgently w/a connecting flight in Chicago. Over Lake Erie the pilots warned us that they were avoiding a storm & it was really rough going for about 15 minutes-but it felt like far longer! I was grateful for the communication from the pilots, the FAs checking on all of us, & the chance to collect myself at O’Hare!
Thanks again for this great series!
YES!
Thank you so much for sharing. I always get nervous about turbulence but since this has been explained, I'm less scared. Thanks again.
Hi Laurie! I really enjoy your videos and learn a lot each time. On the subject of turbulence and how scary it is, I remember a server at a diner (years ago, on my way to the airport, flying solo, and terrified) told me to think of turbulence as potholes. Such a simple thing to say but it made an enormous difference!
That's what I do too.
I’ve heard pilots refer to them as speed bumps as well.
I love this video. You guys are a great team! It is comforting to have an actual pilot explain these things to you. I’ve flown a lot and a few times had some bad turbulence. But this helps. I do wish he was my pilot always! He is very calming. I live in Portland, OR and I would love to know why we almost always have turbulence when starting to land.
@@christineschrader-ds4mw He politely disagrees that it's always lol. He does not know-but closer to the ground there is more friction between air masses? Beautiful state!!
I am so afraid of flying all of my life. . I cry silently when I experience a turbulence , I was thinking that the crash is coming. I have never enjoyed the fly.
Great video! While turbulence has never bothered me, I really liked the science of the explanation. Your husband really makes things understandable! Thanks to both of you!
Awesome video. Thank you so much for all this information. I will definitely feel more relaxed next time a flight is going through turbulence!
Always appreciate your info! Thanks!
I am frightened of flying so thank you for this vlog this has definitely reassured me and will take on board everything your husband has said,
You can do it!
I remember the last flight I was on… it got pretty turbulent, but I looked at the flight attendants, who were strapped into their seats but gossiping, or at least talking without fear. I was immediately comforted, and actually drifted off into a lovely nap while being rocked into sleep.
Extremely helpful, thank you for the info. I never like flying but knowledge is good.
I love these videos. Your husband brings a sense of calmness which makes me not freak out as much when I fly 🥺
I really enjoyed this today! I love all your videos, but this one in particular speaks to a fear of mine. We’re flying from Ohio to Texas soon, and turbulence is the one thing that I’m dreading the most, but this has really helped put my mind at ease! Thank you!🙂
Hi, I am glad it helped a little.
Thanks Laurie and your husband for another super informative video. I like you just hate turbulence but over the years have got a little better during the occurrence. I used to count the days of when I had to fly, not sleep or eat and just so scared. Never would it stop me flying but it is so reassuring to hear it from a Pilot, which deep down we know, they have all under control. We are in their hands. I will be watching this video again and again and definitely while I am flying I. 10 weeks time.
Great video. My hubby has equilibrium issues. This will be helpful for him to hear. Thank you both.
8:23 Mad respect to this pilot who called it a "Flight Deck". Not all pilots are men. ❤
Thank you for this video! I developed anxiety while flying as years went by. Though I'm flying to my home country for 13 hrs direct flight every year, for the past 10 years now, unfortunately, I just have this anxiety especially in taking off part. This video helps me lessen my fear of flying. Btw, I'll be flying for 13 hrs this coming Friday. 😊
Thanks, that was very informative and comforting!😊
Many thanks to both of you for this informative video. I’m flying next month to Rome & I really needed this reassurance. Very much appreciated!
I always buckle up in my seat unless I am walking toward the restroom. Better safe than sorry.
I had turbulence in the bathroom once… 0/10 wouldn’t reccomend
@bmiller949 I do the same and advise my teenage daughter that she should as well.
I’m always seat belt up. I try to use the restrooms before I get on so I don’t have to get up at all.
I'm a former stewardess and flew for 2 airlines that flew over and within the Rockies. What scares me about turbulence is unrestrained passengers who might fall on me. I've been caught in turbulence while standing up working, and got hurt. Now that I only fly as a passenger, I keep my seatbelt firmly fastened at all times.
Thanks for sharing! Good tip to remember when flyin.
Super informative!!! Thanks for this great video!!
When I fly I want him for my pilot. He is so reassuring and professional. What a lucky girl you are!!
What a magnificent video.
I'm a pilot as well and have been working since 1996.
Turbulence is not fun but it's part of flying.
Also on our OFP we have the shear reports for each way point, that also helps us known where it is.
My worst turblence experience as a pilot was flying between Bishkek and Mongolia.
My worst as a passenger was over Turkey.
Wishing you and your husband a magnificent life.
Best wishes
Cordell
Thank you!
Watching this after hearing about the Singapore flight with the Extreme Turbulence. His comments here are eerily foreshadowing 5:00
Thanks for your expert explanation about turbulence, it's definitely put me at ease now 🙏
Thanks for sharing. Helps keep us calmer
I smiled when you said to hold a physical book. I remember landing after some what I thought was extreme turbulence. The gentleman sitting next to me asked if I was okay. When I responded yes, he asked me to let go of his leg 😳 So it does happen 😁
hahaha yep
Turbulence. I’m not scared. I’m either gonna die or not.😂 Seriously, though, I’ve had only one very scary experience and we landed safely. It was a military aircraft and we were flying over mountains and landing in the high desert at China Lake.
Thank you and your husband for making this video! You two are a gorgeous couple.💞
I want to kiss the ground sometimes.
but was that related to turbulence? Because in my head turbulence is normal because of weather and has no relation to a plane possibly crashing. I don't like turbulence but I never feel like it has any impact on safety.
@@surlespasdondine I feel like it is going to snap the plane in two
Thank you so much for that clear explanation. Blessings to u both🙏🏾😊👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you guys this is kindness in action and many blessing to you for sharing it.
I flew into Geneva which is surrounded by mountains. The worst turbulence I had ever experienced. Women were crying and a couple of the overhead compartments opened. I was scared but when I looked back at the flight attendant, she was sitting so calmly and smiled at me and mouthed, don’t worry, we’re fine. Rough flights no longer bother me…rough landings though…lol
I always look at crew members to see if I should panic.
I feel like people confuse turbulence with danger...
Yes me too - always look to the attendants. The only thing I really worry about is anything not secured bouncing around and hitting someone.
Airports in Switzerland are quite dangerous cause of the mountains but it’s all good. Had this in Austria as well
On a recent flight from Toronto to Denver, we had a lot of turbulence. My dad was a commercial pilot so it didn't scare me, but when the Captain told the flight attendants to take their jump seats immediately, the other passengers freaked out. I don't think they knew what jump seats were.
Yes! that freaks me out too.
Thank you for this helpful video! I appreciate this as it’s always scary but I now feel better ❤
I love this informative video!! Thank you!! Thank you!! 🤗🙏🏽🤗🙏🏽
Years ago I was on a flight where there was a lot of turbulence, and a woman behind me was screaming "Get me off this plane!" I'm sure a lot of people wanted to oblige her! Thanks for this video, Laurie!
Oh my! I would love to scream that.
That’s hilarious!
Great video! I think it’s missing one very important fact. In the history of commercial aviation, there has only been ONE crash associated with turbulence. So when coming across turbulence your risk of danger or crash is essentially zero. So just enjoy the roller coaster! Thanks Laurie!
yes! essential point! I feel like the misunderstanding is that turbulence is a bad sign /a sign of danger. When it's in reality just normal.
Interesting that you would mention "roller coaster"! Last time I experienced turbulence I felt like I was on a roller coaster, and some of the other passengers were doing what I was doing: putting my arms up in the air and yelling "Whoooo"! LOL.
What a fine young man and his explanation of turbulence. Laurie, he's a definite keeper and hopefully my husband and I will be fortunate to fly with him one day. Thank you both so much for this video, we are flying to California soon and my daughters best friend is going with us and has NEVER flown, so I will absolutely be keeping this info tucked away to help her if we have any turbulence that upsets her!!! Great video!!!
I hope so too!
Excellent tips and content! very interesting thank you!
Would love to hear more information on tue sudden drops in altitude, how it happens, etc.
Love that one!
Thank you. I get so scared when it’s bumpy. I just was on a flight out of rapid city and I’ve never felt turbulence that bad!!!
Yes that was the video I showed!
His calming demeanor helps . Thank you for this educational video !
As someone who has been afraid to fly my entire life, I really do appreciate these videos. These videos have been very helpful in calming my nerves. So, thank you!
