Today’s question (or rather yesterday’s question) about the life of a Flight Attendant comes from fellow b5media blogger, Tris at Maple Leaf 2.0
Q: Do you get airsick?
A: Remarkably, no. I say “remarkably” because I do get car sick.
I don’t recall having this problem as a child, so I’m not sure when it started happening. While it doesn’t happen all the time, and it hasn’t been a problem on the last few car trips I’ve taken, I’ve been fortunate that the problem has not carried over to the airplane.
There have been a couple of times when I’ve been sick on the plane, and there is truly nothing worse, but it was never a result of motion sickness.
I’ve flown with people who have problems with airsickness, and after a few months, they seem to “grow out of it.” I’m not sure if it’s a matter of acclimation, mind over matter, or medication, but I don’t think I’ve seen it continue for much longer than that. The occasional flyer, however, likely has a harder time overcoming it.
