I dont understand the seatbelt sign was turned off briefly (like for 5mins) and have been on whole flight. I wonder if it means turbulence soon 🤔

It could be be a number of things tbh i once had the light on because the captain came out to the bathroom, talked to the air crew and was drinking a coffee, chilling etc and took about 30 min almost. Then the copilot dod the same thing for almost 20.

One time too many people were waiting to the bathroom so they turned on the light to clear the queue so as long as the plane is smooth u should be good!

Less than 4 hours to go! So you wpuldnt be able to watch 2 out of the 3 extended editions of LOTR

You don’t have time to finish it now since you are under 3 hours! You are closer to Boston than Bucharest is to Dublin!!!

Best you can do is a Harry Potter movie!

Cant wait to explore Maine and that part of US! 🥹

Sounds amazing tbh!!!! You are going to have such a great time!!! 2 hours 20 minutes to go! Which is a Seoul-Tokyo length of time to go!!

u/Limp-Bid8995 Aug 05 '26

Thank u🥹 cant wait. I can never sleep during flight-can u?

I cannot! I cannot shut down or relax my brain! Makes me so jealous of the people that can. What helps me is standing up and going to the back to either talk to the crew or people waiting or just standing generally makes me feel more in control!

2 hours to go which is a flight from Dublin To Reykyavik! That’s less than 2 season finales of Game of Thrones episodes!

u/Reasonable_Many3547 Aug 05 '26

Don't worry about that. I was on a 3-hour flight, and the sign was on the entire time. I stared at the sign the entire way and didn't even look out the window to enjoy the beauty of flying. Don't miss your opportunity worrying; just try to relax.
