As someone who has suffered from motion sickness since childhood and had to struggle with it during flight training, I'd like to add a few more hints to Alex's excellent post:
a. Exercise can make an enormous difference to airsickness -- for me, aerobic exercise (like running) doesn't make much of a difference, but anaerobic exercise (like weight-lifting) and stretching a couple of hours before the flight matter a lot. b. Don't fly on an empty stomach, but do eat light food that's easily digestible -- avoid a lot of dairy or other fat. c. Keep the ball centred -- yaw makes you and your passengers sicker than anything else. That's especially important in turbulence, where you'll normally be concentrating more on pitch and roll. d. Chew gum, preferably strong mint (it works for me, anyway). e. Put smaller passengers (or pilots) up on a couple of cushions so that they have a better outside view. f. For me, cold is better than warm -- I deliberately set things up so that I'm a little chilly while I'm flying, but again, other people may have different experiences. g. If all else fails, avoid flying on summer afternoons.
