Therefore, the aircraft can climb faster during a flight to settle above the clouds and thus avoid more turbulence under the same conditions. Therefore, the flight is more pleasant and you arrive at your destination more rested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, just because you cross the Atlantic doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;ll avoid single-aisle aircraft.
