Very good. A slight correction:

Is it at the back of the seat in front?
Is there much turbulence ahead?

Many thanks for correcting my writing.
I thought the word turbulence would be a plural noun too.
I am a bit confused about some words. For example when do I have to use cost or costs?

Is it always wrong to use turbulences? Is there any rule for?
