If you get car(-)sick

[Interfluvials]

If you regularly get car sick after ~1 hour, what would you be like in a coach for an hour? Would it be feasible for you to do 1 hour coach in a mask?

I would really struggle. My best bet would be to take promethazine but it does make you drowsy.

I used to get very car sick but I'm fine in coaches and trains (facing forward), so long as I don't try to read anything.

I've found that eating a few ginger biscuits 30 mins before a car journey really helps. Since I've been doing this I still feel a bit queasy, but I don't vomit anymore.

I'm dreadful in coaches despite being ok in cars. Mask would make things much worse too as the top generally sits in my eyeline, bad enough on lifts/stairs!

If you have a choice of seats near the front but not directly over the wheel is generally least.

Don't read/watch anything. Listen to something with your eyes closed.

I'm not typical with car sickness, I'm fine with rough ferry crossings and airline turbulence but have a real problem with vibrations, although Pendolino trains I can't cope rear facing. Cars are only really a problem if DH is driving "enthusiastically" on a twisty and bumpy road.

No I couldn't go on a coach with a mask. I avoid them anyway because of the travel sickness but no way with a mask. Therefore, I won't be going on any. Travel sickness is truly awful.

I get quite car sick but it usually depends on the type of road. A coach journey that was mostly motorway would be ok, even with a mask, but a lot of stop-start city traffic would make me feel ill within 15 mins or so.

Coaches are worse than cars. I couldn’t do an hour in a coach, never mind with a mask on. Can you take the train? This is about the only form of transport I rarely get travel sick on.

When I was a child I had terrible car sickness - my mum said I'd barely make it a mile before she had to pull out the emergency sick bag, damp towel and spare t-shirt.

I'm much better now but I can't read or even look out the window for too long because the trees flying past at high speed makes me feel queasy. Last year I did the overnight coach from London to Glasgow and it was awful. I was boiling hot and felt really sick after about an hour so I wouldn't be in a rush to do that again.

Coaches are the worst for me. But yes, if it was a planned journey, I could- I'd take Phenergan the night before, restrict my eating on the day of the journey, have some ginger capsules with me. It's mostly the Phenergan that would help tbh.

I would avoid. Can only do 20 mins on a coach max before I spew. I have very bad travel sickness though which lasts two or three days after I have stopped travelling.

Couldn’t do it- I’d feel dreadful very quickly
