New York, United States
Major international gateway serving New York City and the northeastern United States.
Flights from JFK often cross the North Atlantic jet stream, particularly on routes to Europe. Winter months see increased clear air turbulence. Westbound transatlantic flights typically experience more turbulence due to headwinds against the jet stream.

Search Flights from JFKFlights from JFK often cross the North Atlantic jet stream, particularly on routes to Europe. Winter months see increased clear air turbulence. Westbound transatlantic flights typically experience more turbulence due to headwinds against the jet stream.
Turbulence intensity varies by season and route. Generally, winter months see stronger jet stream activity, while summer can bring convective turbulence from thunderstorms. Check our real-time forecasts for your specific flight date.
Our forecasts use real atmospheric data including wind shear analysis, jet stream positioning, and atmospheric stability calculations. While no forecast is perfect, our physics-based approach provides reliable turbulence predictions for flight planning.
