Flying in general usually gives me a slight headache-I believe due to the air press, plane fuel and others cologne/perfum. Of course I do the normal w/ some OTCs before I get on board and for some reason if I sit in the back of the plane I don't get as bad of a headache. Don't ask me why...but it works for me.

If for some reason I can't nip it in the bud and it turns into a migraine and bc no other treatments have seemed to work in the past for me this is my approach:

Tylenol #3 &
3-4 Advil &
cool towel that covers the eyes-trying to make it as dark as possible &
move away from anyone w/ cologne/perfume or scented lotion (if possible) &
turn the air vent on HIGH &
a real coke not diet &
and try to get some sleep

I know the T3 and Advil at the sametime seems like alot ....but like I said nothing else helps me..

btw interesting post.
