Eating low calorie, light meals during the twenty-four hours prior to flying, avoiding greasy foods and alcohol the night before, sitting in a seat by the wing of the plane, and turning the air flow vent toward your face during the flight may be helpful in preventing the nausea associated with air sickness. Other methods that may be helpful in avoiding nausea may include medication, acupressure, herbs, homeopathic remedies, cognitive behavioral therapy, or breathing techniques.
