Steve Varsano compares private jets to commercial airlines. Private jets cruise higher, above most weather; maintain lower cabin pressure for better rest and breathing; and fly faster. Together these mean less turbulence for passengers.

Questions this video answers

Private jets fly at higher altitudes, have lower cabin‑altitude pressure for better rest and breathing, and generally travel faster than commercial airlines.

Implied yes—because they fly above most weather, turbulence is reduced, though climb and descent still encounter weather.

What are the differences between a private jet and a commercial airline?
There's a lot of differences. I mean, the main difference is you're flying at a higher altitude, so you're going above most of the weather. Second thing is, is you have cabin altitude pressure, which is at a much lower altitude than you are simulated in the airline. So you're going to be able to rest better, breathe better. And finally, you're going to go faster in a corporate jet most of the time.
Does this mean you get less turbulence on a private jet?
The higher you go, you fly over more and more weather, so you do get less turbulence. You have to get there and you have to come back down, so you have to penetrate through that weather, but once you get up to the top, you're usually flying on top of it.
