I only chewed some gum for the first half hour. Big mistake. I had to fly for another 6 hours with two ears that wouldn't pop. Probably one of the most painful experiences of my life. The pressure on my ears was unbearable.
Also, have a drink, as per Runshouse21 suggested. It will calm your nerves.
