Who has already been to the Maldives, is there strong turbulence there?
I flew Etihad
It wasn't there at all
flew from China, shook many times and turned on turbulence announcement
Flew with Aeroflot, the flight there was bumpy, felt like being in a little train car, a couple of times, but the return trip was smooth as butter. Both times they announced turbulence zone - I, being a coward, always imagine everyone flying around the cabin when I hear those words, but overall everything was good.
We flew from August 30th to 31st with Aeroflot. It was a bit shaky at 5 o'clock in the morning, there was strong turbulence, we hit a air pocket directly. And it was a bit shaky on the approach to the Maldives.
Aeroflot is constantly shaking, Emirates hasn't flinched
