Thanks for this - it's interesting. I'm not a nervous flyer, but turbulence does worry me. I don't mind light turbulence but when it gets heavy I get nervous. Not conducive to a good night's rest. I understand that "light" and "heavy" are subjective. I recently flew back from Hong Kong (777) and there was some pretty heavy (to me) turbulence, to the extent that cabin crew were told to sit down and strap in. I haven't heard that order being given much ... does that mean it's pretty bad?
I've found that turbulence on the BA LCY - JFK route to be quite troubling, as the A318 is a relatively small aircraft, compared to what you'd fly on that route from say LHR, so moves about a lot.
