I've noticed over the years that my motion sickness seems to have become more intense during flights. It could be that as we age, our inner ear sensitivity and overall balance may change, contributing to increased motion sickness symptoms. Severe turbulence can especially worsen nausea, and personally, flying without easy access to barf bags—or having to use clear plastic bags—adds to the anxiety of air travel. One strategy I've found helpful is to sit over the wings, where the plane’s motion feels more stable. Also, using acupressure wristbands and staying hydrated before and during the flight helps. If you’re prone to motion sickness, avoiding heavy meals before flying and focusing your gaze on the horizon if visible can reduce symptoms. Sharing these experiences with fellow travelers often brings comfort; I once overheard a conversation joking about "where are you from" and the quirky personal stories that ensue help distract from discomfort. Overall, motion sickness can indeed feel worse with age, but by preparing in advance and knowing what to expect—especially during severe turbulence—you can make flying more bearable and less stressful.
