Last night I kissed the ground after our flight landed in CLT from DC. Delayed at BWI, Baltimore
for severe WX to clear Charlotte our destination. Well the bumpiness was no problem at all, but those slooooowwwww downdrafts and updrafts are Major sickening. Heard at least 2 passengers couple rows back using a barf bag, but I never did though I came close. Have any
of you gotten used to it ?
Any frequent fliers out there still get airsick?

Re: Any frequent fliers out there still get airsick?
I've never had a problem with motion sickness (airsick). But I have tossed my cookies a few times in choppers (UH1H).....but those times were from adrenaline rushes.
There is such a thing as "sympathetic vomiting".....I once knew an iron worker that would see someone vomit and they would be having a party!!
I have some one liners.....say it just loud enough for the people seated around you to hear.....
"These barf bags are awfully small.....gimme yours just in case."
or......
"Do you think your husband suspects anything?"

Oh yes... you have to remember what job I do..........
<-------------- is a reminder...
TD/TS are worse than Cat4/5 Hurricanes (Most of the time)...
I have thrown up on pilot pro rides before because of the constant approaches and tactical landings..... 3.5 hour sortie with 20+ full stop landings (quickly land and put engines into reverse thrust immediately and stop in under 3500 ft)

And does the drink from the drink cart have anything to do with that second nap?
