Would you feel these strong winds on your flight, though? 100kts would toss your plane around, wouldn’t it?

ayyyy jetstream
I don’t think you’re going to be trying to do any pattern work at those altitudes. 😄 AP will compensate in the case of crosswind on your route.
I’m just talking about while your a passenger at FL380, would you feel the strong 100kt jet stream? (sorry for asking so many questions, I don’t know much about meteorology).

You’ll feel the time go by faster as your west to east flight is shorter! 🙂
It is typically ideal to either fly into it head on or following it. This is why you see sometimes followed route is different from flightplan.
