If you’ve ever felt discomfort in your ears during a plane ride, this woman learned a clever hack from a flight attendant that just might save the day next time! In a video on social media, the traveler told the story of how one descent put so much pressure on her eardrum that she felt like it might “explode.” Thankfully, a kind flight attendant came by with a helpful solution. It eased the passenger’s pain so much, she just had to share the tip with her followers! In her clip, the woman referred to the trick as a “hot cup.” She showed footage of herself holding a paper cup over one ear while waiting for the airplane to finally land. Her caption revealed that not every flight attendant knows about this hack. When the traveler got on her next flight, she asked a staff member to bring her a “hot cup.” However, that person had never heard of such a thing. @babygriffin I owe that girl! Apparently, it’s a trick not alot of people are aware of, because one of the flight attendants on the next plane didnt know what i was talking about when i ordered one for take off (my ear was still plugged)… so i thought id share. #flighthacks #travelhacks #traveltips #earpain #flyingtips #travellife #traveltips #americanairlines @American Airlines ♬ original sound – Snowdream One commenter on the post was dying to know how the flight attendant’s hack actually worked. In a follow-up video, the traveler was more than happy to explain. Apparently, you simply stuff “a washcloth and some napkins” into the bottom of a disposable cup, then moisten them with piping hot water. When you hold this concoction over your ear, the heat helps ease any pain during the plane ride. Meanwhile, the absorbent materials keep the water contained at the bottom of the cup so you don’t pour boiling water over yourself! @babygriffin Replying to @Aubrey #americanairlines #hotcup #flyingtips #travelingtips #traveltips #traveltok #travelinghacks #travelhacks #earpain #holidaytravel #flightattendant ♬ original sound – ???????+????
