Window seat over wings minimizes airplane motion sickness

According to a veteran flight attendant, the best seat on a plane to avoid motion sickness is a window seat over the wings. This location offers the smoothest ride. The wings' center of gravity and stabilizing effect, combined with the visual reference of the window, minimize the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. The back of the plane and aisle seats are the worst choices. Other tips to reduce motion sickness include eating lightly, staying hydrated, and using acupressure bands. If feeling sick, open the air vent, close your eyes, and alert a flight attendant.
