Flying Question
 

Our family is flying to Germay this week and when the plane lands I have terrible ear pain from the pressure change. I have tried gum, swollowing etc. What is the best way to equalize pressure in your ear? Will have pix when I return.

Hold nose, blow through nose gently before and during descent. Just like scuba diving.

Agree, or the thing that worked for my son for a while was those ear plugs you can buy but it being so long ago I can't remember the name of them. Sorry.

I believe the ear plugs you are talking about are not "plugs" but rather "pressure plugs".. Meaning they do not plug the ear, they are more "straw" like and allow pressure to release.

Where as an ear plug would be what you might wear at a concert. A pressure plug is what you wear on a plane.

Thanks B, its been 10 years since my son had to use them so the synapses have been used for other purposes since then.

Brand name "ear planes" Most drug stores have them. Has worked great for my wife and daughter even when "stuffed up" from a cold.

Glad I could help..

Afrin nasal spray and oral Sudafed can also help a lot.

Thank you all for your help. I will have a beer with you all in mind. Going to the Berlin area. Any thing that I should see there? connman

Make yourself yawn ;)

Checkpoint Charlie, the Jewish museum a lot of restaurants and take the bus tour around town where you can get off the bus at various tourist spots.

Which hotel you staying at??

We are staying with friends from Annaberg, Germany. They have an apartment there. We visited 2 years ago to the southern area and it was spectactular. We also dipped into Austria and Switzerland. The people that we are visiting are truly BMW people with 7 series cars that are made to go on the Autobahn. The father runs it at 250+ kmh... Should be exciting. Thanks for the help.

No problem! Enjoy.

I just moved back from Europe end of April and had the X up to 141MPh (per the dealer) during my drive through Germany to the shipping terminal in Belgium. I love driving fast, this car was just designed for it!
