Best Seat on a Plane for Air Sickness Sufferers

There's Dramamine, there's the air sick bag in the seat-back in front of you, and then there's a strategy to limit the effects of airplane travel on the motion-sensitive: Sit over the wing. "An airplane is like a teeter-totter," a seasoned pilot told Away.com recently. "When the pilot moves the nose of the plane up or down, the seats in the extreme front and back are going to move a greater distance. And as a rule, the tail tends to move more than the front, so stay away from the rear if motion is a problem for you." On the other hand, passengers near the tail of a plane are about 40 percent more likely to survive a crash than those in the first few rows up front, according to Popular Mechanics, based on an exclusive study that examined every commercial jet crash in the United States, since 1971, that had both fatalities and survivors.
