All Nippon Airways NH10 flies the mountain-wave sensitive route from New York to Tokyo. Conditions change hour to hour — view the live forecast for your departure date.
View live forecastThe route crosses mid-latitudes where the polar jet can influence flight conditions, though exposure is shorter than on genuine long-haul crossings. The route crosses or passes near the Japanese Alps, which can generate mountain-wave turbulence downwind when upper-level winds are strong.
Calmest season: Late spring and early autumn. Transpacific routes are most turbulent in winter months when the polar jet is strong and positioned further south. Wind flowing over Japanese Alps can generate mountain-wave turbulence that extends hundreds of kilometres downwind — most pronounced in winter when upper-level winds are strongest.
