Drink a couple of cups of STRONG coffee before your flight.
That's my technique for delaying the CHs. It works very well:
I did it last night and managed to sit through an entire concert
by the Berlin Philharmonic without having to inject myself
with Imitrex in public. (Of course I didn't get to sleep until 2:30,
then was awakened at 3:30 by someone moaning in pain -- turned out
it was ME! But that's another story.) Coffee works; I can avoid
all daytime and early evening CHs that way. And/or you could take a Fiorinal
before any shadow starts. But I find coffee even more effective.
Good luck!
