Travel safety tips?

Question

I'm about to take long plane rides to get to Europe. Any suggestions for how to stay healthy/keep safe on the plane? I've heard blood clots can form. Are compression socks a good idea?

Answer

Lots and lots of water, I always wear compression socks, snacks like fruit and nuts, and try to sleep as much as possible. I also take a good face cream and lip balm and continuously put it on as the air is super dry in airplanes. They'd it really. Also do feet exercises like drawing the alphabet with your toes at least every hour, I like to get up and go do stretches near the toilets too (obviously when it isn't too busy)

Answer

I took a 7 hour fight at 16 weeks. I brought sea bands for motion sickness and compression socks. Wish i brought snacks bc the food was horrible, and u can't have the lunch meat.

Answer

To be honest, my best tip is find out how much a last minute upgrade is. I upgraded on a Copenhagen to Boston flight at 9w and it was such a good choice! Plenty of bathroom access, plenty of snacks, loads of room, and way fewer nausea triggering smells. Plus, real mini duvets so I got actual sleep on the plane.

I also recommend compression socks and a ziplock of lemon peel you can stick your nose in if some smell starts to make you feel queasy. Also: aisle seat so you can pee when you need and walk around
