I'm headed over to Europe for a cruise next week and was hoping to get some feedback about flying conditions over the Atlantic and Europe at this time of year. I'll be flying AUS-PHX-CLT-FRA-VCE on the way over and BCN-FRA-CLT-IAD-AUS on the way back. What are the typical weather patterns over the Atlantic and Europe right now? What can I expect for bumps?

Give me the days and Ill squint at the charts for thee. The dreaded jetsrteams are weaker and further south in the summer months. The end of May should be an end to the thundery showers but all this is conjecture. Ill look at the forcasts and see. I would like to point out that forcasts are **** lies until what they predict actually happens.

I'll be flying from CLT-FRA (A330) on Wednesday May 23 and from FRA-VCE (A321) on Thursday May 24. On the return, I'll be doing BCN-FRA (A321) and then FRA-CLT (A330), both on Thursday June 7.

Thanks for taking a look! I appreciate it...
