if you advise the stewards or stewardess just before descent of your problem they will give you some sachets called Brenclear Inhalant Sachet. I use this and it does ease it a bit. the other thing to ask them for (sounds strange I know) is ask them to wet (soak) some paper towels with hot water and put them in a plastic cup. Put the cup against the painful ear and it seems to help also.
