With peoples holidays up and coming and many going long haul I reckon its worth reminding ourselves of the government advice for Air Travellers regarding DVT(probably useful for any one travelling in cramped conditions without a break whatever means of transport). Simple inexpensive precautions that might save you a lot of bother.

ladyjan,
yes you should get measured or measure yourself for the DVT socks. Mind you I wore them and still got a DVT...did the worst thing and fell asleep on the flight something I never usually do on a flight (even 12 hour ones).

opps i always try and fall asleep on a long haul .and was hoping to on a night flight to turkey next friday too.now you really got me worried 
ladyjan,
from what I've been advised by my consultants long periods of sleep on longhaul flights are not that good an idea...better to take short naps and have periods of activity.
