[Travelandtourism] What's your secret to preventing painful ear pops when you fly?

[cheryl echevarria]

Hello and thank you for posting.
I would also ask your local and state president as well. You may get all of those in a person, don't know about the snoring though, since everyone says I don't snore.
I hope you will attend our meeting on July 2 between 1pm and 4pm
We will try and see if someone is willing.
