Where to Sit on a Plane to Avoid Motion Sickness
An excerpt from Reader's Digest -
This Is the Best Seat to Book on an Airplane to Avoid Motion Sickness, According to a Flight Attendant
By Charlotte Hilton Andersen
What’s the best seat on a plane to avoid motion sickness?
“The smoothest ride is in a window seat over the wings, so sit there if you want to avoid getting motion sick,” Anistine says.
Why?
- Center of gravity: Airplanes pivot around their center of gravity, which is typically near the wings. Sitting there means you’ll feel less of the plane’s up-and-down drama.
- Stability over the wings: The wings actually help stabilize the aircraft. Sitting there, you’ll still feel the bumps, but at least it won’t feel like you’re on a mechanical bull in the sky.
- Visual reference point: The window gives your brain a horizon line to focus on, helping sync what your eyes and ears are telling your brain.
Ironically, this means that many passengers in the economy seats end up with a more comfortable ride than those in first class … at least when it comes to motion sickness!
What’s the worst seat on a plane for motion sickness?
“The back half of the plane will always be bumpier than the front half—the last few rows especially,” Anisitine says, speaking from her decades of experience flying and seeing where passengers get sick the most often. This can be especially tough, as many people think sitting next to the bathroom in the back will be the most convenient spot if they get sick, not realizing that they’re making their issue worse.
The back row is basically the roller coaster section of the plane. Planes tend to sway more in the tail, amplifying every little bump.
Aisle seats can be tough as well, she says, because you lose that visual reference point out the window, leaving your poor brain to fend for itself. And while we’re at it, avoid sitting directly over the engines. Vibrations can exacerbate queasiness—unless you like feeling like you’re at a rave.
