What you experience on a regular flight is a complete non-issue compared to what you can experience in a car, in an amusement park, or in VR. And if you remove the direct comparisons, then people do things like say, war, parachute jumping, or underwater welding that are way more extreme. Really like everything it's just the matter of getting used to it. As a kid flying used to be amazingly exciting. Then I got a job that involved flying twice a week and it very quickly got routine. The weird forces also don't last very long at all. For the vast majority of the flight is just sitting in a chair, and feels exactly like that. |

To me it feels like sitting in a chair that’s hurtling forward at 900 km/h and randomly rising and falling by a few meters. I’m not forgetting that for a second. It’s not that uncomfortable at cruise altitude, but I’m definitely very aware of what’s happening and how even tiny changes in pitch are tied to quite large and long acting G forces (compared to sitting in a chair, not to a rollercoaster).
