Has anyone found that the inbound flights across the Atlantic have been abit rough on the old turbulence? I know the jet stream has been strong but it wasn't half bumpy, shakey and droppy on my way home from the states on the 7th Jan!

As you no doubt know the airlines will choose to use the jetstream if possible as this will save time and reduce fuel costs. Riding the jetstream can sometimes be a little bit on the bumpy side depending on different factors. It may also have been due to flying in, or riding the tops of, high cloud over the Atlantic.

Btw, if you see your post disappear it's because it's been moved to the appropriate forum. ;)
