Wellbeing reporter Sally Coulthard looks at ways to reduce the health risk of long haul flights 'Economy Class Syndrome' For most of us, flying doesn't represent any significant risk to health and aviation still remains one of the safest ways to travel. However, it's also hard to ignore the worrying headlines about 'economy class syndrome' and the reported health risks of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Since the 1940s scientists have been aware of the danger of sitting immobile for long periods of time. By the 1970s, scientific studies linked sitting still on plane journeys and ill health, and today there is compelling evidence that DVT can be caused by long periods of immobility. Just how many people become ill or die as a result of sitting immobile on long haul flights, we still don't know. The problem is that if you sit still for a very long time, as you might on an international flight, blood clots can form in your legs. The medical profession refer to these blood clots as 'deep vein thrombosis' (DVT). In the leg a blood clot might cause swelling or redness but if it moves into other parts of the body, the results can be fatal. A blood clot ending up in the lungs can block the supply of oxygen to the rest of the body, causing what's called a 'pulmonary embolism', and possibly death. DVT is still a very rare phenomenon and for most people there is no cause for alarm. Preventative Measures But there are measures you can take to reduce the risk of developing DVT on a long haul flight. British Airways, for example, suggests that during the flight passengers should: Airogym DVT Exercise Cushion £7.99 Quantity: Add Drink adequate fluids and avoid alcohol and caffeine Avoid crossing their legs Stand up and stretch out from time to time Carry out the foot and leg exercises advised in the Well Being section of the BA Highlife in-flight magazine Wear loose fitting clothes Seeking Advice In addition, they suggest that people with a family history of DVT, or anyone who has blood clotting problems, is receiving treatment for cardiac disease, hormone treatment, or has had recent major surgery or injury should seek advice on preventative measures such as anti-embolic stockings, low dose aspirin or anti-coagulant medication for the flight, from their family doctor.

Virgin recommends the following advice to passengers who might be prone to feeling unwell as a result of flying: Avoid sleeping pills as they reduce your mobility and make you feel sluggish Avoid flying with a heavy cold, sinusitis or ear problem. If you find the pressure change uncomfortable, suck a sweet, chew, or hold your nose and gently blow Drink plenty but avoid dehydrating products such as alcohol, tea and coffee or carbonated drinks Air expands at altitude and heavy meals will result in feeling bloated, so eat lightly Your skin may feel dry so moisturising creams may help. Contact lenses may also feel dry, so take your glasses with you onboard To minimise jet lag, set your watch to your destination time at the beginning of your journey and try to adjust your body clock accordingly.
