However I believe this 'no liquids' restriction is indirectly responsible for deaths and DVT incidents. I believe there is a formula, and FF's should ensure they do not become too dehydrated. I feel for soccer and hockey players with a fresh heamotonea's, and battered legs generally.
I find them 'toy' DVT travel stockings just that.
I am a convert to Jobst socks 20-30 , and have found ameswalker.com 1-8875257224 has all you want (not a plug, but an earned ranking. Their home brand is not as good, but at 1/4 the price, quite 75% as decent) , if you local aussie discount chemist has huge stock gaps, chemist shops next to vascular specialists have better ranges in au.
I also pack a few multvits, folic acid and Iron tabs, or fefol or the like. Many aussies are deficient in same,if you are skipping too many greens, the bright yellow urine is a good reminder to drink more water.
If inbound, the 30-50 minutes of standing inline for quarantine after a 15 hour flight is another possible DVT factor. A 30 minute average is something NOT to be proud of.
