Traveller's thrombosis is something to be careful about when you have to sit in the same position for a long time, such as when on an airplane.
There is a risk of blood clots forming in veins deep inside the body. In the lower legs it occurs by venous stasis (slow blood flow). If these blood clots travel from the deep veins through the blood stream and become lodged in the lungs, a pulmonary embolism will develop. Together these two are called traveller's thrombosis or economy class syndrome.
Be sure to get plenty of fluids
Adequate fluid intake is important to prevent dehydration, which causes increased blood viscosity. However, alcoholic drinks or other beverages that have diuretic effects may contribute to body fluid loss.
Massage your lower legs
Adequate exercise and massaging are effective ways of maintaining normal blood flow. Especially, lower leg exercises and massaging help prevent blood clots.
