Obviously, there is a powerful psychological component to
airsickness. Why else would so many of us successfully
acclimate to it, and why else would we not get sick on
cross country flights, where we know we don't have the
option of landing?

I think that, too!

One times I flew as passenger and I was getting a little dizzy in my
stomach. So we decided to land. In the same second as our gear touched
ground the dizzy feeling changed to real sickness. After leaving the
glider immediately I had to sit down and ten seconds later I had to puke.

Thats why I think its psychological in many cases. I never had a real
sickness feeling during flight and I'm not anxious for it.
