Seems like the air trapped in your digestive system tends to expand far more than normal as pressure decreases. Avoid certain foods 8~12hrs. prior to your flight.
Most foods that contain carbohydrates can cause gas. Fiber, in particular, can be a culprit, because it’s not easily digested or is undigested -- especially when first introduced into your diet. Basically, undigested sugars pass into the colon unabsorbed, leading to gas production. By contrast, fats and proteins cause little gas (although certain proteins may intensify the odor of gas).
“Any food that contains material which doesn’t get broken down and absorbed in the small intestine can cause increased gas production.” Some people have difficulty digesting certain foods completely. The partially digested food then passes from the small intestine to the large intestine (colon). There, bacteria digest the food, leading to the production of substantial amounts of gas (composed of nitrogen, hydrogen, methane, carbon dioxide and a few others). In fact, humans are not well-equipped to break down many plants; we don’t have the enzymes for doing that like other mammals.

Don't light a match to disguise the smell. The other passengers will smell the smoke and the pilot will land the plane. Do you really want to explain this to the FBI?

That's easy, just open the window when you blow off...

;o)

Could try the Thai trick and light a match to burn off the smell...they love it when you light matches on planes.

I assume you've tried a cork?

avoid proteinous food about 12 hours to your flight and visit the toilet to empty your bowel before embarking on a journey.

Excuse yourself when you feel one coming. Walk to the area near the toilets. That way no one notices.

Don't fly... take the train.
It has something to do with air pressure on your intestines.
