For passengers who enjoy travelling but dread travel sickness, the best seats to book on a plane to avoid nausea have been revealed by travel experts.
Experts at at Omio suggest that if you’re prone to sickness or dislike turbulent flights, the ideal places to sit are over the wing, which is one of the most stable parts of the plane due to it being the centre of gravity.
This central position makes the journey feel more stable, particularly during turbulence. Another less bumpy area is the front of the plane, so choosing a seat here could alleviate your nausea.
If neither of these options are available, securing a window seat could be beneficial. By focusing on the horizon, you can align your vestibular senses with the motion of the transport, helping to reduce feelings of sickness.
This trick also works well on long car journeys and even boat trips on choppy seas.
If you’re prone to travel sickness, ginger could be your new best friend. Keep some ginger chews handy in your carry-on for easy access, reports the Express.
It’s also advised to steer clear of screens like phones or tablets. Instead, try closing your eyes and taking deep breaths.
Avoid having a big meal before you board and give alcohol a miss. Instead, keep sipping water regularly to stay hydrated.
