The global search for the most and least turbulent countries to visit in 2024 has been concluded - and the results may cause a slight topple.
Bhutan has been named as the destination with the most rough air, while Antarctica ranked at 172 on the list, making it theleast bumpy to visit via plane, reports Daily Mail.
Coming in before Antarctica was Svalbard (171st), Russia (170th), Greenland (169th) and Canada (169th).
The study shows that the UK ranked 150th, with the US coming in at 68th and Australia nabbing the 64th spot.
And New Zealand you may ask? It seems visiting our lovely little island won’t cause too much of a hassle - especially when it comes to plane sickness and flight anxiety - it ranked 113 on the list and affirmed itself as one of the smoother places to land.
Carried out by turbli.com, the study looked at turbulence averages throughout January this year.

Turbli ranked the different countries using the same data sources that pilots and airlines use to plan their flights, “data that comes from advanced weather models developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the MetOffice”.
After Bhutan, the second-most turbulent destination to travel to was Guinea-Bissau, followed by Senegal (third), Cabo Verde (fourth), Nepal (fifth), Gabon (sixth), Guinea (seventh), Congo (eighth), Cameroon (ninth), and Sierra Leone (10th).
