The last plane trip I took, the girl across the aisle started doing the deed
before the jets even started. I was a horrible wreck. I had a migraine from
all of the stress, my back, neck, and stomach were in knots. The flight
lasted nine miserable hours with this girl barfing the whole way. Before
the jets started, while we were taking off, while we were flying, when
there was turbulence, when there wasn't...THE WHOLE TIME. I am flying
alone this time and I am so extremely afraid that someone that gets
motion sickness will just happen to be placed beside me because thats
how my life seems to work. THe universe hates me. I have more throw up
stories than anyone I feel like, just because I hate it so much. So my
question to whomever is; What is the politest way to not make a scene if
this happens, because I'm afraid that I won't be able to control myself. If
the person beside me starts puking, I will be up and out of that seat in a
hot minute. Can I ask them when they sit down if they get sick? IF they
say yes, what can I do? I don't want to be kicked off of the plane so I'd
have to wait until we were in the air. Do the flight attendants let people
sit in the back where their seats are if there's one open? I'm getting a
sedative I guess from my doctor, but I'm worried about taking it because
it's going to make me go to sleep and what if the person thats barfing
beside me gets it on me or something. That would be wretchid waking up
finding vom on you. Does anyone have any tricks or tips to help me out?

Just a side note. If I ever get enough money, I'm going to buy an airline
and you will have to go through a motion sickness test. If you get sick,
you're not allowed on my planes, if that were to somehow be illegal, there
would be a special section for the people that do get sick. It would be
sealed off so that it didn't gross out/bother/freak out the paying
customers that didn't get sick. I think it's so unfair that I may be subject
to sitting beside someone that is going to do something that I fear more
than death. Give me poop, pee, needles, rats, roaches, spiders, blood,
leprosy, or anything else people are afraid of and I'm fine, but when it
comes to vomit...I'm helpless. My fight or flight kicks in and I'm usually
gone like the wind.

Bottom line, my luck is so horrible when it comes to this, I just can't help
but think that I'm going to get screwed.
cjj6281, I know exactly how you feel. I think i had a similar instance happen to me when I was a child. That may have been the beginning of my V phobia! I'll never forget it, my parents and I were on a plane, I never saw anyone "V" however when we were getting off, I guess someone mustve "Ved" in the aisle and they put newspapers on top of it. I just remember stareing at it. I dont know why. It just bothered me soo much! I guess I mustve thought that it couldve been me! not sure. But most ppl who do get motion sickness do know how to make their way to the bathroom. So i really wouldnt worry about it. most people do not get sick. i think u just had a rare instance. it maybe good for u to get some antianxiety meds from ure doctor. The meds are not going to put you out totally to the point that you are not going to hear your surroundings. i think that u will be fine and nothing will happen.
