WOW, nice pic Rudix. This was landing on Nylstroom on Sunday morning.

I must add that softness gets sick if she goes to the cafe on the corner, in the back of a car. Front she is fine as a pax. She therefore already tried almost anything available, that is why I posted the question. Maybe somewhere, someone found something that works for them.

Visited three pharmacies, but to no avail.

The reason why she doesn't like it. She tried the Stugeron Forté, cause it is supposed to not make you drowsy, but we can't seem to find it anymore :?: .

Our previous "long" flight to Mabula she took two cans of ginger beer with. Sipped it through the flight, and it helped a bit. Maybe the carbonated version is not such a good idea. On Sunday she forgot it at home. :oops:

For Sunday she got some capsules from the pharmacist at Dischem - forgot the name. The trip to Nylstroom was fine and smooth, and with the help of our little friends she was fine. I also flew a bit higher which also helped, but I don't like. :cry: - boring.

She took another capsule when we returned round about 11:00. She joined Tinkerbell for the flight back. It was then a bit bumpy, - because of turbulence :wink: - which was not good. She said round about the Cullinan area - about an hours flight - things started to get nasty again, but she managed.

Maybe the nice juicy steaks, wors, eggs and coffee had something to do with it. Unfortunately we still do not have a definate answer, except the front seat. (**)

What Wart said: Give the ginger beer/preserve/tea a go. Hasn't failed me yet.

Firstly, I have to say "WHAT A LEKKA LOOKING AERIE!!" :lol:

Secondly, on topic, My brother gets really airsick and seasick. I found that if I let him fly from the back seat and concentrate on keeping us on track and on altitude his airsickness dissappears. Also, if he drives the boat his seasickness dissappears. Ek weetie hoekom nie maar dit is so!

(**)

My advice therefore is: Let her fly. (Be careful you don't get airsick) :lol:
