I ate ginger snapes, took ginger pills and drank ginger ale. I pretty much threw up straight ginger on my flights. 15 years later I still don't touch the stuff. Makes me ill just thinking about it. Non-drowsy Dramamine got me through the rough parts until my inner ear adjusted. Most people will adjust after repetition. I threw up on my PPL initial flying, T-3s and T-37s. The non-drowsy Dramamine saved the day.

My father-in-law has horrible motion sickness but he found relief in those wrist bands with the pressure point button. He swears on them and fishes on the ocean with minimal motion sickness. He used to violently ralph all over the place the entire fishing trip. Might want to check it out. But I swear by non-drowsy Dramamine.
