Anyway, the Captain updated us on our flight and that includes a warning of turbulence around a particular timing and so far they have been quite accurate.

Once we were on our way, we encountered some expected turbulence especially flying through the clouds but once we reached our assigned flight level, it was smooth all the way until we were on final approach. Well done to the PIC (Pilot-in-command)! At this point, we started our descent into Lisbon (LIS) Airport.

One of them informed us about the weather and possible thunderstorm at Delhi Airport and he mentioned about the smooth ride when they flew in from Delhi so we could be expecting smooth ride during cruising but possible turbulence when we approach Delhi. Well done to the PIC (Pilot-in-command)! So overall, this flight was smooth.
