Singapore Airlines
Route : Singapore-Shanghai
A/C : 777-300(Not ER)
Alt : 39.000Feet
Turbulence : ~38.500ft - ~40.800ft (Moderate Turbulence)

777’s seem to make turbulence seem worse because the baggage compartments seem to be shaking much more.

I think the Airbus A330 and A340 too.

Turkish Airlines 12: New York JFK - Istanbul Ataturk.

Turbulence throughout the whole flight, making it nearly impossible to use the lavatory. Worst was while on approach.

United 737-800/900ER LAX to HNL
I hate any approach into any hilly places because there is always rough turbulence because mountains.

Lion Air B737 (I Think it could be -800/-900) from Jakarta (CGK) to Medan (MES, not KNO)
The approach was moderate. (My hand accidentally slams one of the passenger :p) And Coincidentally, It approached to some hills before entering Medan (Maybe Like what @Bulba said?)

Hills or mountains can cause turbulence from air currents coming down the mountain.

Landing at Manchester back in 2011. I was on my way back from Menorca on a First Choice A320. The whole flight was turbulent, and it got worse on final. Two people threw-up so the whole plane stunk. The landing was a crosswind and the guy who was sat next to me was green.

Uhhh sorry for that to happen but I know that landing in that place there can be microbursts or rough air currents.

Approaching EDDF is rough, there are often thunderstorms

Just saying do not think badly of these airlines as the turbulence is not a result of the pilots.
