I think fresh air and a clear view out of the cockpit are the best way to
minimize airsickness. Never give a non-pilot a backseat ride.

That's rather difficult to avoid. At our club you are not allowed to
fly from the back seat unless you are an instructor. I've got 250 hours
total time, 68 hours and 95 flights of it giving rides, all with the
passenger in the back seat.

I've had two people get sick. One friend got sick at the end of an 80
minute flight in 1993. I don't fly first-timers for that long any more.
Another friend got sick on her first glider flight earlier this year.
She's been fine on subsequent ones and we think she may have started
with residual car sickness from a "sightseeing route" on the way to the
airport, and unwise food just before the flight (a big hot chocolate).
