As part of my job I need to fly 2-3 times a week and use a zomig pill 30 min before take-off. This works 8 out of 10 times.

Recently read that the introduction of the new Boeing Dreamliner means that, because the body is carbon-fibre and no longer aluminum, the air pressure inside the aircraft will be a near sea-level ranges at cruising altitude. Right now it is 30% lower, which leads to vasodilation and many of us being proned to attacks during flight.

Sounds like some relief is on the horizon.

Reply #27 - Aug 8^th, 2010 at 8:10pm Many is the time I've had "landing headaches" from the pressure ramping up on descent. They are usually one-sided and anything up to a dinkum Kip-8 but rarely last more than about two minutes. Oddly, I've never had one while sky-diving.

It could be an interesting way to abort a CH, although most people doing their first jump will have a similar look of pain on their face as they push themselves out the door.
