Hello
Welcome to healthcare
this is symptom of barotrauma which usually occurs with accent or decent in airplanes, more in people with eustachian tube dysfunction
take steam and blow cheeks with nose closed. Nasal decongestant can be used.
From next time when ever you take a flight be sure you don't have cold, keep on chewing gum through out flight especially accent and decent
