I have to take an international flight in a few days and my back and left leg pain will make it miserable. My doctor prescribed a muscle relaxer and some exercises a couple of days ago. Ibuprophen helps more than the muscle relaxer and the exercises may be helping a little and slowly. I am going for an important meeting that I can’t miss.

The thing that has helped me the most with sciatica is to have a good chiropractic adjustment once a week to keep it in place. This eliminates the pain more than an anti-inflammatory/pain killer (I’ve been on Bextra and then Mobic, 2x per day. Both are NSAIDs).
Try to get a good adjustment right before your trip, and call ahead to schedule an adjustment right after reaching your destination.
