There are no easy answers to these questions. It’s impossible to predict the specifics of turbulence months in advance. And despite its mountain setting, there isn’t much about Quito, one way or the other, to suggest landing there might be bumpy or smooth on a given day.

This discussion might help…

Thank you very much.

When a Non-Stop is self explainatory. A Direct flight will have landing and takeoffs in route to the end of the flight. I recall a flight from DC that was direct I was going to clarksburg WV and had a stop in clarksburg, Parkersburg, and finally got to morgantown (back when they still had scheduled service). (I felt like I was on a bus) but it was a direct flight because I didn’t have to connect to another aircraft.

I didn’t check out all of these islands to see how suitable they are for emergency landing, but there are many islands and other territories in the United States Minor Outlying Islands

I’ve heard that there is enough air circulating to cool a 3 bedroom apartment. Is that true?
