Otis brings together current aviation weather, your flight details and our own turbulence forecast to explain the journey you’ve booked.
LHR to JFK
The chart’s main feature is a noticeable forecast band approximately 2 hours 20 minutes to 3 hours 5 minutes after scheduled departure, around the middle of the Atlantic-bound cruise. It is not expected to be continuous: conditions are forecast lighter on either side. The first 25 minutes are forecast smooth, and the final 35 minutes are forecast light.
Our forecasting system combines current atmospheric data with your route, departure time and available aircraft details. It maps likely stronger stretches; your briefing explains the sensations and how aircraft cope with turbulent air.
We gather recent airport weather reports and forecasts from NOAA’s Aviation Weather Center, matching forecast periods to your flight times. Your briefing explains what wind, cloud, visibility and rain could mean for take-off and landing.
We match your flight’s available aircraft and airline details with our aviation library. Engineering, airport and route knowledge help explain the sounds, movements and stages you may notice on your journey.
Read your briefing before you travel. On board, let Otis talk you through your flight. Download the audio and PDF beforehand to use them without an internet connection.
If you’re flying within 18 hours, preparation starts after payment and can take a few minutes. Otherwise, we prepare it around 18 hours before departure. We’ll email you a link when it’s ready.
Choose a flight departing in the next seven days. We prepare your briefing near departure, using forecasts for when you’re due to fly.
We check regularly updated aviation weather sources when preparing your briefing near departure, matching forecasts to your flight times. Your delivered briefing captures that forecast; it doesn’t update live after delivery.
Otis forecasts where stronger movement is more likely and what it could feel like. The chart and explanation help you prepare, while recognising that weather and routes can change. Not every bump is predictable.
£24 includes your written briefing, spoken audio and PDF for one flight. Read before travelling and listen on board. Return and connecting flights need separate briefings. There’s no subscription.
If we can’t produce it, we automatically arrange a full refund to your original payment method. For help accessing a briefing you’ve bought, email hello@otis.flights.
