Transporation question

[Idontwanttogrowup]

I will be flying on Delta. Someone suggested that I chew gum. Do I chew it on the way up, in the air, when Im coming down or all three? Which gum would you suggest I chew?

Some people have problems with the change in air pressure when the plane is ascending or descending. So chewing anything will help relieve that pressure.

That's the only time I ever chew gum.

So get the flavor and brand of your choice. Or get some Starburst; they would do the same job.

Take a Xanex and you won't care either way.

I use Earplanes ear plugs. They work and won't cause cavities

Sorry, but your kidding me right?

a good decongestant before hand is pretty effective.

My Mom suggested to take an Aleve & that should work. Im also suggesting going to bed late and if youre tired you wont care if youre on the plane or not.

Any type of gum should work.

I suggest chewing gum for all three. I would chew a sugar free gum if concerned about cavaties. If you have TMJ you may want to go with the ear plugs Native NYer suggested.

Who in heaven's name would want to be groggy while traveling????From a practical point of view, who wants to miss the grand adventure of it all--not to mention safety concerns? I gather you're just flying from NY to Fl? Not from the South Pole to the North Pole? Tough it out.
