As a child i got very travel sick in a car , however as i have got older found i have grown out of it.I am due to go to America in a month or so and i am concerned that coz ive never flown before i will end up spewing for the whole flight.What do other people think?Is flying the same as car journeys?Am i likely to get sick?

It is the swaying movements which cause travel sickness, so generally one does not get travel sick on a plane unless there is a great deal of turbulence. My adult daughter is still car sick. She flies very often and has never been sick in a plane. When people do get sick, it is generally because they have eaten or drunk too much before boarding the flight.
So stop worrying (which is a psychological cause of sickness for some). You'll be fine. Take a box of crystallised ginger with you. It prevents travel sickness, but the chances are that you will not even open it. Bon voyage!

Take some decent travel sickness pills and a packet of ginger biscuits to nibble on, don't eat anything greasy or rich before flying and you'll be fine. Have a good flight!

Car sickness is nothing like air sickness. Don't drink alcohol on the plane and try to sleep. Enjoy !

Request a seat closer to the front of the plane. The back sways more than the front. Bring something to entertain yourself and keep your mind off it. Something interactive like cards will work better than a book (at least for me).

You'll be fine, especially on long haul filights which are high up, these planes are rock solid.
Honestly, you'll be fine. Don't let your mind dwell on it. And stay off the alcohol.
Oh yes and dont bother with any of the quack remedies you will see on here either!
Enjoy your flight.

I get sea sick but, love fishing, take "Bo nine" an hour before the flight, I don't get sick on planes but, you never know, I used to work at the airport cleaning vacuuming the jet ways, a flight from Pakistan came in, the guy "Whistled Carrots" all over the jet way, I quit my job that day, funny but, I figured out that I am more valuable than cleaning up Pakistani puke ! he should be cleaning up my puke ! whats wrong w/ this picture ?
