I usually have some sort of nazal drops and use them every 2 hours or so.

Ditto on AX's Dr recommendation.
In my experience, sinus infections often follow nasal congestion, so I try to keep clear even if it means saline mist, Afrin, or another decongestant, many of the same recommendations for inner ear pressure.

Afrin and Halls Euchalyptus are a great combination
Also Sharper Image has this item you hang around your neck which act like a humidifier excellent for long trips.
Good luck
