My mother said that the rear facing seats helped with motion sickness, but others have said that it exacerbated it.
....as long as you don't get negative miles.
Haha, deffinatly +1 to that quip about negative miles.
Our flight was a smooth one so I can't comment on wether it makes motion sickness better or worse. I do know that when on trains or busses facing backwards seems to make me a bit dizzy for what ever reason.
