What else can i do to lower my risk of DVT during a flight?
Moving your legs, whether while your in your seat or walking in the aisle are good preventative measures, as well as staying thoroughly hydrated will help. Being well hydrated will probably start the ball rolling for you anyways, because if your anything like me, you will have to get up plenty of times to go to the toilet, and their is your 1-2-stay-away-from-me-DVT combo right there. You get hydrated, and you get your exercise all at the same time. As a precautionary measure, most airlines these days provide exercise sheets to inform you of efficient exercises you can do while en-route. The sheets are normally located in the same pocket as the emergency evacuation procedure sheet.
