Default Flight Advice

[quote:63a57de118="selchie"]
So are these flight socks supposed to massage your capillaries or something?[/quote:63a57de118]

For those who don't know, they work like surgical stockings used in hospitals to prevent blood clots. They are supposed to help prevent DVT (deep vein thrombosis). Not sure of the medical terms used to explain how they work, (could be like massaging your capilliaries :icon_wink: ) but I certainly noticed more comfort wearing them whilst flying.
