I also realized that another thing that helps is just to have something in your stomach and to stay hydrated. BUT, do not eat too much or drink too much. If you eat too much and get too full, you will probably feel like throwing up before you even get on the plane. Also, if you drink too much, you will either get water log and again, feel like throwing up, or you will have to use the restroom a lot on the plane.
Another way to keep your mind off of the sickness is to find ways to distract yourself. You can either bring something to distract you like an IPod for music, a book, homework, papers for work, anything really. Just remember that you do have a limited amount of space so that kind of dictates what you bring. Planes also provide things to keep you occupied. They have music in the arm rests where you can find different radio stations. You just need to remember some headphones or purchase them for two dollars. Some planes also show movies. The only thing you need for those too is headphones. Sometimes though, the movie or show they play is completely boring so I would always have a backup thing to do just in case.
One of the things that may or not help you is turning on the air in the plane. This seems to be usually a last resort for people before they throw up though because it cools them down enough to alleviate some of the nausea. If cooling yourself down before the nausea even comes, I would highly recommend it.
For some people, I know that computer screens and bright lights give them headaches. These headaches lead to their nausea. If you are one of these people, I would just recommend staying away from them before hand and while you are on the plane to avoid any unnecessary nausea.
Well, those are all of the tips I have so hopefully they help you next time you find yourself traveling on a plane. (361)
