Bring lots of fluid: A common sickness while in higher area are headaches. While the pain can vary, you’re going to find that if you bring lots of fluids, it’s going to help you tremendously. Be sure to purchase your liquids inside the airport, because you can’t bring liquid containers over a certain size in your carry on.
Bring some Advil / Tylenol: Bring on some simple, over the counter pain medication when you may come across pain. Some people swear by Motrin, while others swear by Advil. Bring a couple capsules on board, because you will find that everyone copes with pain in a different way.
