The very first time I had my first bout of dizziness (which lasted 10 days) was the second to last time I was on a plane.
I flew from Denmark (sea level elevation) to Switzerland (400 meters to 2000 meters).

I was down there for 10 days. I had this bobbing/rolling/floating sensation 24/7 in those 10 days. I landed in Zürich, which is about 450 meters up. I then spent some days in a place at 800 meters and finally the final days at 2000 meters.
When I landed back home in Copenhagen (sea level), the dizziness was gone!

Why am I telling you about elevation?
Because I know a lady from Australia, who suffers from dizziness for weeks after each flight. She told me that somehow the cabin isn't pressurised properly on all flights. I don't know what she meant by 'properly' Maybe air pressure in the cabin is supposed to be like what it is at sea level? I don't know.
But she told me that many people suffer from dizziness because the cabins aren't pressurised 'properly' (whatever that meant exactly).

I have a theory that maybe what caused my dizziness for those ten days were the sudden air pressure differences. Especially since the dizziness went away right after stepping out of the plane in Copenhagen, which is about 2 meters above sea level. (I was drunk n the flight home, so I can't tell you if it had stopped aboard already)

I might add that I've always had sensible ears to sound and air pressure.
I always had my ears pop a lot whenever we drove in the mountains.

So yes, I definitely think flying can affect dizziness in one or more ways.
Whether it will affect you I cannot say, obviously.

Good luck in whatever you do. (I would have taken the train instead. :P)
