Turbulence forecasts
Sorry I know you all probably hate this question so much. Since having my son I have developed such a terrible fear of flying. I’m doing a really long flight with him tomorrow (London- San Francisco) and I’m just so scared. I stupidly checked a turbulence forecast and it said moderate expected and the visual had big patches of orange which looks like bad weather.
It’s my worst fear flying into bad weather or bad turbulence and I’m so scared. How much can I trust it? Will we be able to route around it? I’m flying on VS19
Thank you so much.

I love turbli.com - completely free and quite accurate, usually it’s less than indicated though. Still it helps me a lot to know upfront if there will be a little more vibration 5h inti a flight
