Airsickness on McKinley summit tour?
 

We are planning to take the McKinley summit flight out of Talkeetna this summer. I have never been airsick but have never flown on such a small plane before. Has anyone taken this flight and felt sick? Wondering if I should take motion sickness meds as a precaution.

Take precautions. I have seen sick passengers including my last trip 8-04.

I've traveled around much of the world. I've sailed, flown, kyacked, driven, bobsledded, even bungee jumped. I had no idea what motion sickness is. Then I took a ride on a little plane on a hot day into the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas. Yes sir, yes sir, five bags full!!!
Take precautions.

OH, I think I might have to rethink the flightseeing. I don't know if dramamine will do the trick.

I did one of these tours last summer and I am *very* prone to motion sickness--took some Bonine beforehand but the trip turned out to be very smooth. I seriously doubt I would've gotten sick even without the meds. I'm sure there are days when weather conditions make things rougher but be assured that not every flight is nausea-inducing.

Bottom line--I'd take some Bonine or Dramamine and go for it. This was a fabulous experience and I think you'll be glad you took the risk. If the weather looks particularly unstable on the day of your flight you can always change your mind.

Actually, some lines do not allow cancellations without a considerable financial penalty unless they deem it too turbulent.
