According to a research that examined the turbulence ranges of 150,000 airline routes utilizing the journey device Turbli, passengers flying from Nashville to Raleigh/Durham are most probably to have the bumpiest travels.
The scientific time period for the diploma of turbulence depth used within the report to find out the turbulence ranges is “eddy dissipation rate,” which is assigned to every route.

- Nashville (BNA) to Raleigh/Durham (RDU)
- Charlotte (CLT) to Pittsburgh (PIT)
- Denver (DEN) to Puerto Vallarta (PVR)
