Most relevant for long trips where you are trying to make time, not so
much enjoy the view.

One other comment. I have found, flying east to west over the midwest,
it is bumpy below the cumulus, especially on a hot afternoon. It is
smooth high up, but I encounter the stiff headwinds. Another tradeoff,
this time between bumpy and fast vs. smooth and slooow.
