I have no FOF; but my inner ears are such that certain types of motion can induce panic attacks. This includes boats, high-rise elevators, and as I've gotten older it unfortunately also includes being a passenger in a car on the freeway--but not stop-n-go or windy country roads.
People have a devil of a time getting it through their heads that I DON'T have FOF. It's apparently a problem with my brain not being able to process subtle signals from my vestibular system, or with that system sending faulty signals. No doctor has every really given me a good way to fix it. Popular OTC drugs are almost totaly useless.
If it were FOF, I wouldn't ask for a window seat and feel *better* during mild turbulence. Mild turbulence feels like a bumpy road, and my system seems to handle that better. Looking out the window gives me a horizon and that helps a little, but not nearly enough. The subtle motion is always there. I took my last flight in the early 90s.
