  • Avoid Cramps
    - Prior to long distance flying, I always have a workout in the gym. (Go for a long fast walk if you're older.) It keeps you form getting cramps.

  • Avoid Headaches and Ear Blockages While Flying
    - When traveling by air, try to avoid napping during the descent. You may not keep pace with pressure changes, and could end up with a temporary blockage of the Eustachian tubes. Stay awake and yawn or chew gum.

  • Avoid Stiff Muscles
    - Avoid stiff muscles by trying to keep them in motion. They can ache from being too still for too long at a time. Every 10 or 15 minutes, help your circulation and muscles by rotating your shoulders (backward and forward) and bending your neck to each side by lowering your ear to your shoulder (and repeating on the other side), as well as back and forth (chin to chest, then back). Also, get up and walk around once in a while to keep that blood flowing!

  • Avoiding Ear Problems
    - Before the plane takes off, suck gummie bears or any type of sweet. This will lessen the effect of getting the pressure into your ear while the plane is taking off.

  • Babies and Kids Suffer from Pressure Changes Just Like Adults
    - During descent, make sure that infant travelers have a soother (pacifier) to suck on. Although I am not an advocate of thumb sucking, this is an occasion when it would be good to look the other way when your toddler sucks his or her thumb. Kids who understand how to chew (and not swallow) gum can be encouraged to chew bubblegum as you descend to your destination.
