air sickness

Cabin queasiness problem

Air sickness is nausea and discomfort caused by the motion of an aircraft.

It's a form of motion sickness triggered by the disconnect between what the eyes see and what the inner ear senses during flight: She always brings ginger candies for air sickness.

The adjective is airsick.
