"The Only Way to Get Smarter is by Playing a Smarter Opponent"

How do you prevent ear pain and popping on an airplane and after a flight?

Im getting ready to take my kids to Disney World, the problem is when I get off a plane I am pretty much deaf. It's not just a pop and my ears hurt for a few minutes, my ears hurt for a day or two and it's very hard to hear. My question is does anyone know anything that could prevent this or help me out so that half my vacation doesnt get ruined?  I have tried chewing gum during the flight and cotton balls in my ears and NOTHING has worked...please help!

Have you tried EarPlanes?  They're designed to regulate air pressure changes during flight.

Here's an example of a positive review, at the bottom of this page.  I hope that this helps!

Nose spray also helps.  I first heard about it from a seasoned flight attendant and thought she was crazy.  I then decided to give her advice a try and IT REALLY WORKED!  I have been a travel agent for over 20 years and have passed on the advice to many clients and they have all loved it.  Good luck.
