Change of altitude can make a big difference, ie stay out of the boundary layer where high and low speed air mixes. Be very careful encountering jetstreams when flying in coffin corner.

Our flight plans show expected turbulance at each waypoint so a bit of planning can be done on that basis.

Nice sitting with a 120kt tailwind, not so great going the other way.
