How is he in a car?  Maybe you could take him on more car trips,
particularly over bumpy terrain to mimic the air taxi ride.

The only thing that helped with my cat with motion sickness was more
frequent trips in the car.  She used to throw up every time we went in
the car, but there was a period when she was going every week for
about a month or two.  After that, she calmed down a lot.  She doesn't
even mind going into her carrier as much,  It used to be a big
struggle just to get her in there, but now if I put her in front of
it, she'll walk in.

Rescue Remedy, which many suggest, didn't work at all for my cat.

Charlie, I think dramamine works for cats too. Ask your vet.

Suddenly, without warning, Charlie Wilkes exclaimed (20-Feb-07 5:05 PM):

Ginger?  It works for me, somewhat, but I'm not sure if it's safe for
cats or not.

The first thing you need to do is to find a pilot who knows how to
fly a plane. I'd bet dollars to donuts that he's flying like he's
paralyzed from the waist down. Coordinated flight in turbulence
take a bit of footwork on the rudders. You don't see much, if
any, foot movement in the rough air    do you? Next time, look at
the little ball in the instrument on the lower left of the panel. If
it's not pretty much centered the whole time, someone needs a few
more flying lessons. It makes a hell of a difference in the comfort
level for passengers.....especially those who are behind the center
of gravity.
The wife and I flew to Atlantic City with a friend and his "date" several
years ago. A real irritating bitch who loved the sound of her own voice.
I have a hard, fast, rule for passengers.....STFU during takeoff and
landing. Even that was too much for her. She just wouldn't shut up.
I turned off the intercom for her headset and she started poking me
in the shoulder and telling me to turn it back on. By the time we were in
NYC airspace, I'd had enough of her. So I started gently yawing the
plane back and forth with the rudder pedals. My wife, of course, saw
exactly what I was doing and kept biting her lips to keep from laughing.
It took about 5 minutes and the bitch was feeling a little, um, unsettled.
I kept her right at the edge of puking for the next hour and a half. She was
real quiet for the rest of the flight and could barely stand up after we
landed. My friend wasn't feeling too great, either. But WTF, he chose to
bring the bitch with us.
The lesson, here?
Make the pilot fly the damn plane...and try to put your cat as close
to the CG as possible.
It might also help a bit if you could position him so he could see out
of the plane. An outside reference point can make a big difference
with motion sickness.
TK's a little too hyper to take on a flight. But I used to fly with our 2
girls. Ebony would just curl up in her cat carrier and take a nap.
Fission was the curious one and wanted to watch everything that was
happening. We'd let her out of the carrier after we were settled in to
a cruise. She loved sitting on top of the carrier to look out the window.
Of course, I made a serious effort to keep the plane coordinated
for their comfort and neither of them ever got airsick.
My pre-landing checklist still reads as follows:
Fuel pump......ON
Fuel selector......FULLEST TANK
Prop......FULL
Mixture......RICH
Landing gear......DOWN & LOCKED
Cat.......IN CARRIER
Flaps.........................................................................................
