We fly an aircraft with "club seating" (two rear facing seats facing two front facing seats). Experimentally, my son who is prone to airsickness has a harder time in the rear facing seats [which are closer to the center of mass and center of lift and so experience less excursions in turbulence than the forward facing seats, yet he is sicker in the rear-facing seats].

Those of us prone to motion sickness don't do well when facing the wrong direction. I have the same problem in trains /subways /limos /etc
