Since this is your first time, you will probably experience more discomfort than usual. You have to get used to relieving the pressure in your ears. If you have any kind of sinus condition, you might want to consider taking a sudafed before you travel. Many people chew gum because the chewing releases the air pressure without having to consciously do it.

Soon you will be a pro and giving others advice!

Answer 2

Your ears may 'pop' on take off and landing but most people don't experience any serious discomfort.

To avoid headaches, drink plenty of water, and you'll be fine.

Most airline discomfort is caused from people worrying too much.
