      If it's on all the time, that means no one can go to the loo, no food/drink services, etc.
      Best advice would be to wear your seatbelt whenever you are seated [after landing, during taxiing too], EVEN IF seatbelt light is off. There are some turbulence that the pilot can predict [due weather, jet-stream, etc] and there are some that can't [air pockets, clear air turbulence].

      Yea, I've mentioned it above. Which is why the best advice would be to have your seat belts ON, whenever you are seated, EVEN IF the seat belts lights are off.
      It's NOT like the whole flight will be in turbulence, just use the loo/toilet when you need, get up and walk a little to stretch the legs, etc as usual.
      Pilots and dispatch/planners would usually plan the route to avoid thunderstorms [highly likely to have turbulence] or known turbulences area [like near very strong jet stream] and the onboard weather radar could give some clues too.
      BUT, there are "air pockets", clear air turbulence ["CAT"], etc which can be almost impossible to predict, which is why seat belts should be on when seated even if seat belt lights are off [just in case].

    Air turbulence is primarily caused by atmospheric conditions and weather phenomena such as thunderstorms, jet streams, and wind shear.
    These factors can create unstable air pockets or sudden changes in wind speed and direction, leading to turbulence that can affect aircraft in flight.
    In the case of Singapore Airlines Flight SQ 321, the severe turbulence encountered was likely due to thunderstorm activity or strong wind shear along the flight path.
    While turbulence is not uncommon during flights, the sudden drop of 6,000 feet suggests an extreme encounter with severe turbulence.
    Wearing seat belts is crucial during turbulence as it prevents passengers from being thrown around the cabin, reducing the risk of serious injuries or fatalities.
    However, in cases of extreme turbulence, even secured passengers can sustain injuries from the violent shaking and abrupt altitude changes experienced by the aircraft.
    The tragic loss of life on SQ 321 and injuries highlights the potential dangers of severe turbulence, despite following proper safety protocols.

As the plane traveled across Myanmar, satellite data showed a strong storm beginning to form and bubble into the higher elevations, which suggests that the atmosphere in the region was becoming unstable.

I’d think that the initial drop due to the (likely, as there was no warning) clear air turbulence would be anywhere between 500ft and 1000ft in a matter of seconds and following that, if the flight was diverting to Bangkok, it would have to commence descent anyway.

      The concept of safety must have some balance. Just because one baby gets kidnapped from a nursery, it doesn't mean we should hire police to guard all nurseries in the name of 以防万一 or "just in case." We can't take such an absolute approach.
      จริงๆ แล้ว ฉันไม่คิดว่าพวกเขาจะคาดเข็มขัดนิรภัยเลย พอปลอดภัย เราก็ถอดออกกันหมดแล้ว ถ้าเกิดความวุ่นวายขึ้นอย่างกะทันหันและรุนแรง คงไม่มีเวลาพอที่จะคาดเข็มขัดนิรภัยทัน คุณคาดเข็มขัดนิรภัยตลอดทั้งเที่ยวบินไหม? ฉันไม่คาด

    Saksith,it’s 6000ft drop, not 60,000ft. Condolences to the family of the deceased passenger.
    For those who have not encountered serious in flight turbulence, let me tell you- it’s bloody scary. You’re mid air, the plane is jolted up and down. The shaking and vibrating can be felt and heard. The whole cabin is rattling due to the vibration. Not sure how many feet but the drop is felt and it’s quite violent. This was during my Singapore to Manchester flight, transit Bangkok before landing. Women were crying and screaming. It really felt like the plane was going to drop from the sky. Obviously, we made it. I was on Emirates Airlines.

Tell me, is it better to be without a seat belt for 5 minutes while in the bathroom or be without a seat belt for more than 15 hours in an intercontinental flight? It's all about probabilities. As Neil de Grass Tyson says, we should learn to think statistically or in terms of probabilities. It's like the COVID vaccine.

    Severe turbulence is for real. April 14, 2024, we flew business class Manila to LAX on Philippine Airline. Typhoon hit Manila on April 13. Our flight took off on April 14. Once when we reach altitude and flew pass beteenTaiwan and Okinawa, our flight encountered severe turbulence. (I think we were trailing the tail end of the typhoon that hit the Philippine days before). The severe turbulence continued until we reach near Seattle, Washington. All inflight service and meals were canceled until we passed Seattle. Sitting on the window seat, I could see that the aircraft wing was bobbing up and down with the turbulence. I thank God the Boeing made a good 777 aircraft. The 777 Philippine Airline owned was an old one, but it took the beating and kept on flying. We landed safely in LAX. Imagine, in a few hour, after service and refuel, the same aircraft will be flying back to Manila!
