I agree with MrGuts. Travel during daytime and look out the window. I get nausea on a train if I am backwards. I tried sitting backwards recently to see if I have grown out of it ... nope.
Like MrGuts if I read, and the path is not smooth, I get sick.
Airplanes do not have this effect on me.
On boats, the typical cure is to go look outside at the horizon.
Other cure, close your eyes.
- t0mas88 5y agoAn explanation for that may be that airplanes (unlike cars and trains) keep their turning forces almost perfectly downwards. A turn in a car or train has a sideways component, but a plane banks in the turn so the force is still pointing straight down at the floor. Take a look at your coffee next time you're on a flight, it remains level in turns while in a car it will move to one side. Unfortunately planes have a "less than 1g" feeling in turbulence that many people also get sick from. Just in a different way.
