First of all who walks down the aisle when the plane is taking off, it was so obvious

Damn. Read the question too quickly and thought it said 'what WILL stop....' Must concentrate more.

Sure getting married won't stop your ear popping xD

I work as a flight attendant and I go up and down the aisle all the time. It definitely doesn’t pop my ears. Yawning does. I need my coins back

Player Elf Counsel, I used to suffer the same and for several days after landing. An air hostess told me to hold my nose and blow through it. Do this several times during the flight. It works!!!

constantgamer0421 it’s because most commercial airliners are pressurised to between 6000 & 8000 feet

Swallowing works for me.

Player #19026, Change of pressure doesn't occur only during take of. Any sudden change of altitude can affect ears. My husband has really problems with flying because of his ears.

I've flown three times and never had an ear issue, but always do when in mountainous terrain; I'd say it would likely be due to plane cabins being pressurized, but that would leave the question of why it happens to anyone at all.....😏
