The flight route between Barcelona-El Prat and Amsterdam-Schiphol airports has been ranked as the most stress-inducing in Europe for passengers who fear flying, according to a study by AirAdvisor.
The ranking also included the route between Madrid and London Heathrow, which placed tenth on the list, according to the study's methodology comparing routes across the continent.
Studies of this kind typically weigh factors such as flight duration, turbulence patterns, traffic density and airport congestion to estimate which routes are likely to cause the most anxiety for nervous flyers, though the specific criteria used in this analysis were not detailed in available reporting.
Fear of flying remains common among air travelers, and rankings such as this one are often cited by travel and aviation outlets to highlight routes that may warrant extra preparation for anxious passengers.
