Managing motion sickness

People usually experience motion sickness due to repetitive movement while in a moving vehicle. People usually get sick on boats and buses. Dizziness is felt first, followed by vomiting. As you travel more and more frequently, motion sickness tends to be kept at bay. To prevent motion sickness, you can plan the following ahead:

  • On a ship: request a room in the front or middle of the ship, near the water level
  • On a place: ask for a seat over the front edge of any of the wings and direct the air vent flow to your face
  • On a train: choose a seat near the front and next to a window
  • In an automobile: choose the passenger’s seat or drive
