Perhaps: If you are having sensitivity on multiple teeth and you are considering waiting 2 weeks to seek help then the problem is not that important or debilitating. Since it is multiple teeth and air bothers it, you may be just clenching and grinding your teeth. Airplane cabin pressure also causes problems along with sinus congestion. Try not to grind your teeth and also take an over the counter decong.

Possible cavities: Could also be recession of your gingiva. Can't tell without radiographs and an examination. Things like this can flare up and become critical at any time. It would be prudent if you can squeeze a dental visit in before your trip.

Depends: If your pain is dull and on multiple teeth, it may be due to your stress and occlusal issues. Meaning, you may be grinding your teeth while you are asleep or under stress, and this can lead to a dull ache and present pain in multiple teeth. This is presuming that you are someone who takes good care of your teeth, and have good oral hygiene, and visit your dentist at least annually.

Recommend going: To see dentist asap. If not possible avoid sugary foods and liquids, candies, acidic foods, extremes in temp foods and liquids ....... And maintain as good oral hygiene as possible. Hope this helps.
