His second tip involves the 'water bottle trick,' where he turns a water bottle upside down to observe if the water is moving. In the video, the water remains still, indicating that the situation, despite feeling severe, is not dangerously turbulent.
The third piece of advice he offers is to turn on the air gasper for fresh air, which can help passengers feel more comfortable and less anxious.
Nicholson's calm demeanor and practical tips in the face of daunting turbulence have resonated with viewers, offering reassurance about the safety of air travel even in less-than-ideal conditions.
