If you’re one of those people who reaches for the barf bag any time a plane starts to shake a little bit, you may want to avoid Denver International Airport!

A recent report from the turbulence tracking site Turbli ranked the most turbulence-prone flight routes in the U.S. and around the world in 2025, and four of the top five in America either come to or from DIA!
