Airbus completes transatlantic fuel-saving formation flight
Airbus has reached a milestone in its Fello'fly project, which is designed to facilitate the introduction of formation flying into commercial aviation. On Tuesday, the manufacturer completed its first long-haul formation demonstration in regulated airspace, with Airbus pilots flying a pair of A350s spaced just 3 kilometers apart from the company's home in Toulouse, France, to Montreal.

Apparently it is a smooth updraft at that distance.
That was going to be my main concern for this. No point saving fuel if the passengers are bouncing around in the cabin.
I guess bouncing around wouldn’t “fly” with the passengers. ;)
