Airsickness?

[Майор Хаткевич]

Everybody said if anyone is to roll a cessna, he was the man!

My solution to airsickness: When I fly commercial, I raid the seat backs in my row for bags. I fly with them and haven't used one yet! Works for me! Other than that, no ideas how to avoid getting airsick except stay on the ground if its hot and bumpy.

The bag supply has come in handy for the other crew members though. Oh yea! They are water proof and work as emergency pee containers too.

Could have gone all week without knowing about your relief tube habits... Now I'm ruined.

Bombs away!

Great theories and suggestions. But sometimes, no matter who you are, how many hours, regardless of lunch contents, it simply happens. Pull out the bag, take care of biz, get on with it.

But sometimes it helps to be wary of the food. For example, never eat the fish, especially if you are the pilot!

I think you ought to know what our chances are. The life of everyone on board depends on just one thing: finding someone back there who not only can fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner.

Surely, you can't be serious?

I think you must have eaten some less-than-fresh fish just before this post...

Who was it that advised people to eat peanut butter before a flight, because it tastes the same coming up as it did going down?

[PHall]

Well, PB&J was my go to Box Lunch from the flight kitchen.
Almost impossible to screw up and they take heat well.

I've thankfully never gotten airsick (which is nice since I'm a pilot, kind of), but I've found that it's best for me to eat nothing at all within a few hours of going up or I may get a stomach ache.

In that case make sure you drink water or you may end up dehydrated. And it's very easy to get dehydrated when you're flying.

Agreed. I'm not always good at remembering to bring any, but I like to have some.

After you get that first dehydration headache, you won't forget again.

You would think. I spent the last ten years chronically dehydrated as an HVAC tech. I'm old friends with the headache, lol.
