[@tim..t175]

Thanks Evie , i will try this . I always dealt with it , by deliberately forcing a yawn

[@EviePharmacist]

Yeah I do that too and it usually works for me but I had a customer the other day that still had the pain/blocked ears a few days after a flight and the Dr told him there’s nothing he could do 😕

[@tim..t175]

@@EviePharmacist that would be uncomfortable. 😬.
Last flight i had was the worst. Was harder to get the yawning to work. Generally ok tho.
Have a good night
