If I was on an aircraft doing a Dutch Roll [0], I'd definitely feel discomfort!

(Note for readers: A "dutch roll" is when the plane rolls (when one wing dips down and the other rises up) and yaws (when the rear of the aircraft moves in one horizontal direction and the front of the aircraft moves in the opposite horizontal direction) at the same time.)

Ah yes, I would be definitely feeling very uncomfortable as well in a Dutch Roll!

Some people seem to adapt easily to boats, planes and other types of activities that cause motion sickness. I'm not one of them.
