Hi folks, we're thinking about biting the bullett and getting a flight to Florida this summer. Only hitch being I had really bad ear ache on a flight a long time ago- think it was short-ish, about 2 and a half or 3 hours. It was really bad for both outward and return flights and I was deaf for a few days each side. Since then I haven't really had it. Is this kind of problem likely to be worse on longer flights- I mean is it true planes fly higher for longer distances? Also I heard that cheaper airlines get the cheapest air space which is higher up but I don't know if this is true. I thought the cabins had machines that maintained the pressure so why does it change as you go higher? Can anyone who has had this problem got any info, advice on remedies etc please?
