Flight socks - does anyone use them?

[Grandad Gaz]

Hi, the wife and I have a 13 hour night flight coming up. We are now in our late 60’s and although we are both still fit and active, with no medical issues or problems, I was wondering if it might be advisable to wear them?

I tried a pair on yesterday. Not sure I would find them comfortable enough to wear for the whole flight, in what appears to be knee length tights!

My 92 year old Father uses them three times a year and he still enjoys long haul travel. USA currently and Oman for Christmas. Yes use them and don’t worry

Been using them since I was 30, I’ve got used to them now.

Yup - I wear a pair on longer flights since there is a history of DVTs in the family and anything I can do to reduce the risk is a plus in my book.

If you won’t be moving about much, then I would recommend them

Thanks All. I wasn’t sure if it was necessary but, I will certainly give them a go now.

Thanks
