On the flight
On the flight to Cape Town, it is recommended that you follow these precautions to prevent leg clots:
- Use graduated pressure stockings for your legs when you fly, such as TED stockings or flight socks, pre-op and post-op
- Drink plenty of water on your flight over. Avoid alcohol.
- Exercise on the airplane - follow the instructions in the in-flight magazine.
