Crush it and leave it to air for around 10 mins before eating, it allows more of the allilin to be converted to alicin.

If I know I'm travelling somewhere using trains or planes, I eat a clove of raw garlic every day for 2-3 days before hand and on the day (with a good supply of chewing gum in pocket).
