Turbulence and Triumph: Lessons learned about flying (and about life) Air Facts Journal As pilots, each flight teaches us something new—about aviation, about the world, and about ourselves. On that day, the weather forecast was favorable, with light and variable winds. The turbulence grew stronger, and the clouds loomed closer.

On the most basic level, hot weather affects air travel the way it affects most things: it makes people uncomfortable and wears them down. Imagine what it’s like slinging suitcases out on the tarmac when the mercury hits triple digits. How do extreme temperatures impact air travel? Things happens more slowly.

The weather was not good that day. The airport tarmac, traffic was very light at that time. I checked the weather radar and fortunately for us, the weather was good until evening time.

What I like about the interior of the terminals at this airport is they offer good view of the tarmac which allow great opportunity to take good photos of the aircraft. Announcement was made by the Captain about our flight which we would to expect some turbulence especially along the way but no mention about the flight delay.

The view of the tarmac. There were slight turbulence during this flight and it is nothing compare to my return flight, more on that in my next trip report (Aegean A320ceo SKG-ATH). Rolling down the runway in this beautiful weather. There was a bit of light turbulence during our descent. Beautiful, isn't it?

Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy the hotel's breakfast and tarmac view in his room. We hit some light turbulence during our descent. On the day of departure My first stop of the day was to meet a good friend at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. This is the entrance leading to the hotel reception. It was not a bad day for flying.

This side of the terminal offers view of the tarmac and if you go up to the food court, you are able to do some photography over there. One thing I won't miss is the dreadful weather. Once done, I entered the airside of the airport. There are a good number of shops and eateries at the airside. The sky was getting dark. Goodbye Mumbai!
