You have not felt turbulence until you’ve flown the area of the globe between Alaska and Japan. What you must understand is that what you are feeling is not indicative of what is happening outside to the plane. Turbulence is different than an air pocket where the plane can fall hundreds or thousands of feet in a matter of seconds. That is scarier than the worst turbulence! My Father in Law, a nuclear scientist who worked for the Navy tried explaining to my Wife the difference. What he finally said was as follows. According to the natural laws of physics it is a bigger miracle for the plane to fall out of the sky than for it to stay up. Also keep in mind that when your time is up it won’t matter where you are bus or plane. Travel safe.
