The holidays bring joy, family time…and a whole lot of travel.
But if you have vein or vascular concerns, you might be wondering:
“Is it safe to fly or travel long distances with my condition?”
Long trips — especially those with hours of sitting — can increase the risk of blood clots. That’s why many patients ask about safe travel habits and prevention strategies.
Here are a few physician-approved tips to make holiday travel easier on your vascular system:
• Take walking breaks every 1–2 hours to keep blood flowing.
• Stretch your legs while seated to keep circulation moving.
• Wear compression stockings if recommended by your provider.
• Stay hydrated and avoid sitting with legs crossed for long periods.
