Thai Airways TG911 flies the mountain-wave sensitive route from Bangkok to London. 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 Himalayas, Tien Shan / Pamirs, which can generate mountain-wave turbulence downwind when upper-level winds are strong.
Calmest season: Late spring and early autumn. Wind flowing over Himalayas can generate mountain-wave turbulence that extends hundreds of kilometres downwind — most pronounced in winter when upper-level winds are strongest.
