my ears hurt on the plane!

I remember one time when I was on a plane a flight attendant gave me a good thing to do and its the only thing that has ever worked for me. She gave me two paper cups and at the bottom of each cup was a wet paper towel (wet them with hot water). You hold the cups over your ears (yes it looks a little silly lol) and wala! After a couple minutes of holding the cups over your ears it should feel better. The moisture from the heat really helps your ears pop faster and easier. You can ask a flight attendant for all of those things, or she may even know about it and make them for you.

dude I am going to go on a plane tomorow at 5:30!!! I would say that if you chew gum or drink water it will stop. mos of the times

Ya you need to equalise the pressure in your ears, its the same as when you are driving and u go down a steep hill or open a window. I generally either swallow (gulp) or hold my nose and try to blow through it. It may be some more advise can be found on diving sites as thats where i learnt about it.

get two plastic cups and put damp paper towels in teh bottom of them then put them over your ears when you take off and land.

does that really worrk because I am petrified of planes and im goinn on one today at 2.30
