Very sad news. Everyone, please check this with your physicians, but I recommend enteric coated aspirin before a flight along with lots of fluids before, during, and after a flight. Also, no alcohol or caffiene. This is in addition to exercise and the use of support stockings for those people who have swelling in their legs (edema).

Who knows how many deadly DVT's occur a longer time after a flight. This is very serious.
