What to wear on a flight:
- The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.

The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.
