sore throats can vary in cause and treatment....
try taking airborne-it's an herbal remedy that is sold over the counter and is said to help the symptoms of a cold disappear more quickly-they also have gummi lozenges to help the sore throat go away too. you can find it at any drug store in the cold/flu section

also try these
-suck on ice or hard candies
-use a warm mist humidifier in your room the night before you sleep. this will help keep the air moist,preventing your throat from drying out and becoming more sore
-gargle with salt water (2tsp of salt to 8oz of water)
you can also take ibuprofen about 30-45mins before your flight-this will help ease the pain and help your flight be more comfortable for you. take 200-400mg every 6 hours as needed. no more than 1200mg in 24 hours.
hope you feel better soon!!

Try a Yoga maneuver called the "Lion". Open your mouth wide and stick your tongue out as far as you can, for a few seconds.
This increases blood circulation to the throat area, giving your white blood cells a better chance to fend off any infection you might have.

Try gargling with warm salted water. Also drink plenty of fluids today and while on the flight. Feel better.

Just take throat drops. It shouldn't affect the way you fight.

nothing will cure it. but chloraseptic spray will numb the soreness, and try sucking on ice cubes to.
