Suggestions
Before the plane closes the doors and commences compression, grip your nostrils shut and blow with your mouth closed..this will clear the eustacian?? tubes
As the plane commences compression....do it again
If you still have discomfort ask the hostie for ear/nose sachets (eucalyptus)
when the plane commences descent do the above again every 5 minutes
The secret is to keep the tubes open at all times...not blocked
