BumpySkies First Class includes cloudiness forecasts, letting you see which parts of your flight will likely involve passing through or over clouds, and how often you'll instead have clear views of the ground below. Like our turbulence forecasts, they can help you manage your expectations of what you'll see and experience during your flight.
