Next year I hope to bring my then 20 month old daughter to the US from Thailand. I expect to piss off some travelers and have the 3 of us in Business Class (getting my daughter her own seat).
I pray I am able to stabilize her ear pressure to keep her from crying.
However, I really don't see another viable travel option other than air.

There are earplug products designed to do exactly that, and they come in kid sizes, too - they S L O W L Y equalize air pressure through baffles and ceramic filters, preventing pain caused by rapid air pressure changes. If you can get your daughter to keep them in for the entire flight, they should provide relief for the worst moments.

Don’t know if you know, but having her drink something (so that she swallows constantly) during take off and landing will go a long way to prevent the ears from not popping. Once you’re at altitude, the pressure will be constant and shouldn’t be a problem.

I pray I am able to stabilize her ear pressure to keep her from crying. A pacifier works. The sucking helps "pop" their ears and relieve the pressure. (Been there, done that with small children.)
Barring that, benadryl.
