Fortunately, a report from travel tool Turbli sheds light on which flight routes experienced the most turbulence in 2023. Turbli provides turbulence, wind, and thunderstorm forecasts for flights, according to its website.
"A total of 150,000 routes have been analyzed, from which only those with active airline routes as of December 2023 have been ranked," the report said.
The report used eddy dissipation rate (EDR) to define average turbulence levels, with light (0 to 20), moderate (20 to 40), severe (40 to 80), and extreme (80 to 100).
