Anyway, I don't know what "standard remedies" you've tried, but Sam takes starts taking an antihistamine (usually sudafed or contact) a day before he plans on flying and takes a vick's inhaler with him on the flight. Since he's begun doing that, he hasn't had any problems. We had one vacation where he was miserable for the first several days because he had such a headache and his ears wouldn't "pop" from the flight, so we were desparate to find a solution. Hope this helps. Connie /uiucuxc/uiucdcs/falk
