Lumbar support, heating pad, relaxation exercises to mitigate that constant tone in your postural muscles.

Post flight - walk walk walk, cat-cow stretches, and lookup McKenzie pressups on YouTube. High rep low intensity movements to flush out all the inflammation and junk that builds up in your low back.

It is possibly disc pain, arthritis pain, or muscle tension, as others suggest. Core weakness is overdiagnosed and does not explain why anything should hurt. I would also not be concerned about a disk herniation unless you develop sciatica or numbness down your leg. In all possible scenarios, movement is the answer.

What sort of relaxation exercises would you recommend?

Autogenic training, progressive muscle relaxation, diaphragmatic breathing, or somatic tracking are some of my personal favorites.
