I flew for two hours yesterday and didn't look out the window once. I was busy watching a movie.
I already said: altitude drop from highest point to the ground in 8 minutes is the drop that you feel, as a passenger.
And yes, I feel when a plane is lowering in order to avoid turbulence or stuff like that. It continues for a short time, 10 seconds, 20 seconds whatever. That is routine. 1-2 minutes of non stop lowering and people would be shitting their pants. Let alone 8 minutes...
