I’ve been on a plane that did this before, only our jet stream current was a bit slower and thus our ground speed was hovering right around 800mph for most of the duration.
The turbulence was rough going in and out of the jet stream, but while “in it”, it was about like any other normal flight.
We ended up shaving over an hour off the flight time (SFO - LHR, might’ve been 90min in fact), but alas, due to the “law of early flights”, we then wasted a lot of that time penalty boxed waiting for an open gate.
