Eat a giant sub before flying and soon after landing.
Ginger...Tea or capsules...or find some candied ginger to munch on...it's good for motion sickness and upset stomachs...
Valium is a flyers best friend......
Dramamine and Bonine are decent otc motion sickness meds but they tend to make you drowsy. I get VERY motion sick when I fly even when using them. For the last 6 or 7 years I have been using the scopolamine patch. You have to see your doctor for a prescription but they are awesome. No drowsiness and no discomfort. Put one behind your ear 4-6 hours before travel and you're good to go.
All of the above suggestions are great advice. I just read an article a day or so ago, which was saying that taking at least 600mg of Ibuprofen before flying is quite helpful for those that feel rather "hungover" after flying. When I use that term, it is not literally...just the feeling. If it is mainly motion sickness, then stick with the above suggestions. Thankfully, I use to get "car sick" but flying has never been a problem for me. Good luck!!

I can't sit in the back seat of a car without getting a little car sick but I have yet to have any trouble on a plane. Safe Travels and ENJOY!
Try Dramamine before flight and red stripe after landing
thanks! you all are a huge asset for me thank you
Beebeluv have you ever flown before? Are you taking a night flight or day flight? Night flight you could sleep. Guessing you will have a layover somewhere. Do you take anything for car rides, if you do then take that. I would take some ginger, but I like ginger. Are you going alone?
